A better description of the audience you were teaching to would be super helpful, because how you teach needs to be tailored to the crowd. Making a generic statement like you will never start with TDD anymore doesn't make sense. To be frank, when you said the audience was 'typical enterprise java developers', it seems that you are already describing a group of developers who are sort of 'stuck' in their ways, who maybe haven't heard of other things like TDD and WOULD necessarily miss the point of a lot of it. Just sayin - it could be helpful to avoid broad statements like "never start with TDD" that may be more audience specific.
