I went drinking beer yesterday with a friend who is a retired USAir (+Force) pilot. I asked him when he landed his airplanes if he ever failed to monitor airspeed and altitude and power and all that. He just laughed and said Sum Ting Wong was a compete failure as a pilot, no matter what kind of airplane and fancy electronics he was dealing with.

No. Like I said, regardless of auto this or auto that, there is no excuse for not monitoring attitude, airspeed and altitude, especially in critical stages of flight, and, no matter how bad things may get (weather, SAM's, SWMBO digging fingernails into inner thigh demanding to know, "What is that noise?" etc.) you must continue to fly the airplane.
