But org-mode allows agenda items to be created at different times and in different files; it's possible to create Meeting #1 far in advance, have enough time to forget that Meeting #1 exists, and then create Meeting #2 covering the same period of time. (Compare this with the wall calendar made of paper, where if I try to add Meeting #2 I'll be forced to write it in the same physical space, and therefore automatically be alerted before making the error.)

If I could remember to do things like conflict checks, I wouldn't really need org-agenda anyway. :-)

Does org-clock-consistency-checks support your needs?
