I agree with you on this. I am taking some online courses working toward my Masters and I find that to be true with discussion of readings. I do see others' points of view, and it helps me get deeper meaning. However, the written word is not as good as the spoken word for that. I often miss something and when I re-read the post from someone, I realize I didn't catch what they were saying the first time around.
So, discussion does contribute so much to our understanding of reading selections, in my opinion.

Subject: [Channel-talklitconversations] Workshop 6 Video Discussion
Watching these videos and the groups discussing these literature texts, I am so taken back to my college English classes and reminded of how discussing literature with a group of other readers SO ENHANCES a reading! Others see things that I don't "get" the first or second or ANY reading through....things that then seem so OBVIOUS and critical.
