There is also plausible deniability. Speech on meeting is not recorded, is vague, can be misinterpreted etc... Easy to spot, if there are no meeting minutes, transcript or any other document as result from meeting.

Doing this sort of manipulation over email or slack is way more difficult.

This is a positive if you're doing meetings correctly. You can have open discussions without people worrying every dumb thing they say will be written, and then at the end you write down your action items and takeaways and everyone takes ownership.
