Yes, many people are lazy and try to use meetings to get out of work.

I don't think that's what Pete is saying.
Meetings count as committees, and the IQ of any committee is the IQ of the lowest member divided by the number of members. As soon as discussion starts, the meeting will go on and on, and on, and will cover subjects that just aren't relevant to anyone else: hence the idea of a scrum meeting being stand up, short and sweet - only the essentials are touched on - so you all know what is going on and what is causing problems. They aren't meant to propose solutions or discuss alternatives, just update everybody on status.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
