I'm not sure I understand your line of reasoning, Thomas. What issues are we identifying in the wireframes if not those same issues that might otherwise make it through into the final product? Certainly at a different level of detail; and definitely our early tests aren't able to show up everything; but that hardly makes it an absurd statement.
