Real time conversations allow for real time feedback. It's possible to ask a lot more questions in real time conversations. Outside of questions you can still gauge the effect your words have on the other person via reading body language. That allows much better targeting.
In written communication miscommunication also frequently happens, but you usually don't have the feedback to know how the other person misunderstood you.
On the other hand written communication allows me to check my Evernote "external brain". It also allows to cite scientific studies in a way that's much harder than in face to face conversations.
