I've always disliked how people want to privilege face/face interactions over internet interactions as more real, or, as you say, something that means we "know" people more (nope, heck, a good part of my family knows zip about me, and probably would freak out like hell if they did know the zip they don't know). I run into that all the time in teaching: people who claim that simply by being in the class and seeing the faces of students, they just know better education is being done (I never did).
