I don't think anybody was suggesting that only things that can be tested automatically should be in WCAG. Indeed, many SCs of current WCAG require "manual testing" and expert human judgement, and even Wilco's original message included these (under "Conformance testing"). The discussion, however, was about requiring SCs that can only be passed/failed based on user testing (i.e. where just having one or more expert auditors is not appropriate/sufficient to make a determination).
