I'm not so certain that either format is the one that favors more intelligent discussion. Ironically, there was another, younger poster on this forum who started a thread claiming that forums were dead and wondering why we weren't all on reddit or somesuch other site.
There is an inherent archive in a forum. That makes it easy to restart old discussion if that make sense, or just to use old discussions as reference. Keeping multiple discussions going in their own lanes is also a real plus.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
