How can anyone seriously believe, at this point, that effective mentoring or other collaborative work cannot take place over the internet with things like git, Github, Skype, Google Hangouts, Facetime, WebRTC, Slack, Screenhero, telephones, etc., etc.?

No one is saying that effective mentoring cannot take place over the internet; the statement is simply being made that it is much easier to do in person.

Less tooling may be required, less time invested, etc. to have effective mentoring happen when you are in person.
