Too bad you didn't have the stones to stand by your original claim. Most unit testing is a waste of time. A crazy orthodoxy has arisen around it: never question the value of massive unit testing, just do it! Test-driven development is cumbersome and frequently useless. If you're really doing trapeze acrobatics you need to work with a net, but most of us are just walking down the street, in which case rigging up a bunch of elaborate safety netting is just overkill. Commence downmodding in 3, 2, 1... |

But back on topic. There is some research supporting unittesting (McConnell writes about it in Code Complete) it doesn't find even half of the existing bugs though, and it should be supported by other testing methods.
The main-big-very-nice advantage of unittesting is that any bug that is _does_ find is easily found and fixed.
