The ability to draw, what you want others to see, is paramount.
Depending on the realism of the background, vs. that of an objects realistic nature, would determine what an author wanted a reader to identify with.
Words cannot convey the essence, to an illiterate, so no.
I feel a picture is an abstration, if the idea being conveyed cannot be seen.
An iconic image, holds the same meaning for a huge number of people.

The camera cannot record imagination as quickly as the sketch book can, so no.
I believe the camera to be truthful in a sense of current reality down to the pixel, whereas the sketch book records strokes of memory.
I don't see "rolling tire 1972" as being something that can be evaluated for truth, it's art.
I believe storyboards to aid in the creativity process marginally, in comparison to their aid in helping others understand an architects ideas.

I consider "filmic architecture" to be the use of architecture in film, in order to produce a desired response in a given audience.
I cannot consider film to be architecture, because of the lack of space created by physical materials.
By my definition the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari fits filmic architecture.
