I respect the thoughtfulness with which you made your point, but completely disagree. As another commenter stated - Code Reviews are, for me, primarily a method for communication and knowledge dissemination, secondarily a means to get a second pair of eyes on my work to ensure it's legible and that I didn't miss anything, and only as a distant third a means to "protect" the codebase.

Not to mention the value of a diff/pull request/changelist/patch/merge request (so many names...) and its corresponding discussion as a historical artifact for your team to reference later on!
