This is quite an interesting take, on one hand, I like the humor Ollie uses in his writing, and on the other hand, the effect and how the points are pitched against one another.
I think the most important thing, as stated in this discourse, to make the Panel Session effective is for the panelists to have a talk before the panel session, and the panel should only be to take questions from the participants and audience. That way, there is more context and nuance to the discussion.
In brainstorming sessions, it’s always been a lazy way of achieving negligible impacts. Basically because a lot of participants if not handpicked don’t understand the context or don’t have the knowledge about the subject matter. Most of the time, the submissions are not usable or forgotten.
Regardless, I still think there is some usefulness to the two and a lot of benefit if fine-tuned properly with more context, pre-brainstorming session material, and an open room to walk away.

Thank you @OllieBase for sharing this take.
