I think that it well-justified and quite necessary to be justly "a bit
demanding in this respect".

For some activity to be meaningful, it will quite generally need to
have some kind of output that becomes input for something else. Of
course, some of the potential results from discussions are of a kind
that is not compatible with the idea of recording them in some kind
of formal "output" document, and that does not make those kinds of
informal outputs any less valuable.

Greetings,
Norbert
