Yes, these are legitimate concerns, but you'll have all these problems drawing on paper anyway. Actually what worries me most, is the possibility to scratch the screen (on daily use) and the fact that seems to be some lag going on (at least in the Dilbert video), it could be a problem in the pressure detection.
The Intuos tablet seems cool (and cheaper), mainly for who is already accustomed to using a mouse, I used some similar devices and I love it. But I was thinking of gifting one of these to my father (I'd use it too, of course), who is an excellent draftsman but started to use a computer just last month, so the learning process and latter serious use would be more intuitive with the monitor (if it really works as advertised).
Anyway, I'll think very well (and test it) before buying anything since it isn't a cheap device.

Interesting video, but I really don't like Dilberts art style... it's funny that he needs to make a draft for such a simple draw...
