You're right it won't cure everything, but it would mitigate a good chunk
of one subset of bug type.

Let me quote Martin Grässlin "I rather use a working system without unit
> tests than a system with unit tests that doesn’t work"

It sounds good, but it's a false dichotomy - why can't you have both?
