Totally agree that automation will never fully replace the value of human-powered testing. (Though it is great for the rote regression-testing stuff. The "drudgery", as you put it.)
Isn't the problem with relying too much on unit and integration tests that they don't consider the end-to-end app experience? (Which, in my mind, is what ultimately matters when customers think of "quality".)
