I think there's a lot of value in balancing this approach with smaller sized tests, especially around complex code.

The problem that the article doesn't address is if your test fails finding the failure point isn't as straightforward as it is with smaller units.

However the points made here and in the discussions linked are valid and I think this is the right approach to testing. But I think that there's still lots of value in writing and maintaining tests around smaller units of code. Balancing the two approaches brings us solid test coverage along with easy to debug test failures.
