Losing focus when partner talks between points

I just started playing doubles with someone who told me he loses focus if we talk strategy between the points. He said he keeps thinking about what was said and cant get ready for the next ball and frequently misses it.

I agree that if you and your partner are winning a match easily talking between points is not necessary. However if you are up against tough opponents in my view frequent communication is key to winning. Please comment and thanks!
