Apparently, the whole idea comes from a policeman from Toronto who sent an email to Bill Gates to convince him to help them do something about kiddie orn. At least that's what I heard on TV in an interview with a Quebec Police Officer
Doing unit tests "XP Style" is a good way to solve the How-much-is-too-much problem because you'll write most of you unit tests before actually coding the implementation. Your tests will reflect the specification/requirement of the users, not more, not less.
And because "XP Style" unit tests are generated automatically on a regular (and frequent) basis. It will prevent you from reintroducing "old bugs" as you change the actual code. That will help you to keep your defects in code closer to zero.
