What is the purpose of the clickable prototype?

A clickable prototype is brought up often in conversation with local developers and entrepreneurs. I do not understand the value of them. To me, all a clickable prototype do is add functionality to wireframe documents. Is there a piece I'm not considering?

The main value of a clickable prototype is that it allows the stakeholders to experience and test the flow (navigation) of the site's organization. Wireframes and static mock-ups don't convey the organization and relationships between the pages as clearly.
