As to being dramatic - well, sorry... I am a bit passionate about all this because it's hard to hear red-faced engineering and biz managers slamming UI design practices as "not working", "we don't know what to do with this paper" kind of comments year over year...
That doesn't sound like a problem with the methods, but rather the implementation of the method and the artifacts.
To be frank, most of the artifacts I've seen produced are junk, crap, they stink. If I have to spend 30 minutes explaining the sitemap to you, then either the model is broken, or my artifact isn't designed properly. Isn't the point of an artifact to add clarification and traceability? If it's clouding things, then you should rethink it.
