Though I think this is a good post, I disagree about what the linked article says about the "hybrid" test. Having "small" integration tests (additionally, not alternatively to pure unit tests, of course) can IMHO be very helpful, even if they cannot tell you exactly which method contains the wrong code. If those tests are maintainable depends on how clean the code for those tests is written, they are not "dirty" per se. And I think the goal of those tests can be very clear (as in the example of the OP).
