While I agree there's definitely more to the holistic experience of UX than simply designing a UI after "frontpage" tutorials (really now comparing balsamiq or keynote wireframes to frontpage 101 is a little insulting to those tools)
A non-technical co-founder doesn't necessarily have to be a business person, they could be a designer, a product person, or other type of hustler.
The main point I think is show don't tell... there's also no one "right way". I would think people would use language in addition to pictures.
If it's myself and a technical co-founder sitting in a room, I'm probably going to use both the white board and my voice to get my idea across.
I'm sorry you got the message from the article and my comments that I think UX is easy. I know first hand that's a difficult thing to do right (and even then after you a/b test things you think are right, they turn out to be wrong :P ).
I'm just saying there are some great tools available for expressing yourself. I wouldn't call anyone cobbling together a song with garage band loops a necessarily a bonafide serious musician, but I recognize that the barrier to entry is much lower for expression.
shrug Maybe I am taking for granted my (self-assigned) proficiency in my target market's language and treat it is a given...
