Test Automation: Is it about Recording or Engineering?

Yes…I went through that nightmare where the applications were changing and the automated tests were getting outdated. API based testing as well as GUI based testing would be required.
I have trouble seing how this can ever be a case of either the one or the other being correct. It depends on the type of application,the scope and need for future use. Recording is a fine way of creating the test to begin with, since it can save you a lot of time, but I don’t see how one can avoid having to use scripting if one is to parameterize or generalize the test(s). And this would be a necessity if the tests are to be easily modifiable as things change/evolve. So, a combination on both would be the answer in most cases, I think.
