For communication between hosts, one would need to identify other hosts by IP address unless the hosts file is appropriately configured or a DNS server is in place. While the technically oriented can remember a number of hosts numerically, most people can better deal with descriptive names.

You are making the assumption that this site has members who can answer questions live as they are posted. This isn't always true; in fact, it is rarely the case. Most members can only check once or twice a day which means that any questions asked are much more likely of getting an answer sometime within 24 hours, not within minutes.
