Imagine what could be accomplished if there's complete symbiosis between admins and the users if they were allowed to see the discussions and give their input. It negates the annoying process of having to relay things users say from here to the admin site and from the admin site to here. Rio is on point here. Admin talk is a "middle man," and thus it decreases efficiency. Efficiency is just another benefit to having discussions on-wiki to add to the other benefits I mentioned in my post. Symbiosis or synergy is another benefit. The more discussions the admins have with the rest of the community, the more we will be able to work together well and actually get better at making decisions.
