Sketch in Middle

Why we do sketching? This is an important question that has started bothering me since one of the discussion I had on it. Is sketching a tool for research was another question? I got some clues from one paper: Design Oriented HCI.

What I understood (from what I read from that paper and the MID book) is: sketch falls in between if on left we have vision/idea and on right we have realization/ (external) representation. So, sketch is used to translate left-to-right and interestingly, also right-to-left. This indeed is an important thing when designing.

Rest, I still am interested in perusing if sketching itself is research or not.
