They both are confident to be following well established building-documenting practices. There is a code on the structural drawing that can be tracked to the schedule and the dimensions are noted. The structural engineer sizes the concrete column; the architect places it in the space.

When I look at my keynote schedule I don't see the keynote being added." A good many of us in the AEC business are familiar with the concept of using keynotes on drawings. Ideally it means we get drawings that are cleaner looking instead of the clutter of long descriptions nestled among the graphics that describes the building itself.

One of the most powerful tools in ABS is scheduling. Using a predefined schedule is easy, but figuring out how that schedule works and how to customize it is not. These properties can be assigned by the designer or extracted from the object or style, linked to the object by the tag and reported by a schedule.

Some food for thought: Could it (read that as "it will") be better to let the walls be modeled as they will be built (with dead spaces in between), rather than using in-place walls that simply mimic old methodologies, like CAD or Hand drawn lines filled with poche or hatching? You'd then have consistent walls to schedule, etc.
