I'm reconciled to the fact we won't be winning either of these battles  
anytime soon ;)

The [T|B]DD fad has to run its course. Perhaps when more developers  
find themselves working with the exacting non-functional requirements  
we're used to tackling they'll realise the short-comings of relying on  
automated testing but by then they'll already have moved beyond the  
"gee whizz we could build a social website" shallows into deeper,  
darker waters.
