In a previous century, I'd respond to a comment like the one you quoted
with something like:  "Well, unlike what code-monkeys do, writing
actually works better when it's preceded by some thinking."

But........  it turns out that I actually think better via my fingers
twiddling a keyboard. Don't ask me to have an important conversation,
wherein ideas are developed via verbal exchange. Won't happen. But the
same conversation via e-mail will get all kinds of ideas and insights
from me, complete with supporting reasoning, alternative viewpoints,
etc.  
I'm not totally lacking in social and basic conversational skills, but I
am definitely the poster boy for "Dammit! If only I'd thought to say..."

Shoulda, woulda coulda.  :-)
