Test scripts considered harmful

jenkI dislike detailed procedural test scripts, and not just because I hate writing them. (Maintaining them is worse!) They encourage stale / rote testing, discourage creativity, and generally suck. Nice to see I'm not the only one - Jonathan Kohl & Shrini agree. I especially liked Johnathan's example "dev script".
A script is useful to someone who is learning the product. However: Should you have inexperienced folks who don't know what's going on doing the testing?
