It gives me something I can do when I can't work on the research itself (e.g., during meetings, in between interruptions, at home, etc.). And it helps me anticipate obvious questions that might detract from my result. A slide that looks like it doesn't contribute to the impact of the talk might indicate work that doesn't really contribute to the result.
i don't know how that'd work - a lot of my writing starts from indecipherable technical details from research. From there i unravel their meaning to explain the connection between the high level intuition and low level workings. Writing the otherway seems like you'd constantly lose track of what's important.
