Thinking is thinking. There is no substitute.

Yes but having to put your thoughts down in writing often forces you to think.

Putting thoughts down in writing also helps you make room for new thoughts; once it's out there on the page/screen then you can stop filling up a chunk of your working memory with it and go on to ask yourself "so what comes next because of that".
