I would like just to add some evidence to the sketching point:

Hi Mark
I can probably agree generally with your comments (I think, I might need to ponder them for a bit longer) except for one point.
You write:
"I also espouse that if you can’t sketch, you’re not a designer."
I don't generally sketch, and don't claim any talent in it at all. But I'm still a designer. There are many other ways of "externalising complex, beautiful and ingenious design solutions" in my experience. Unless you mean 'sketch' in the very broadest sense I do not agree.
