The odd part in the two incidents mentioned; Asiana in SFO and SW at wrong airport, is that in the first case, they did rely too much on the automation, and in the second case, they seemed to ignore it.
So...which is it; do we need to rely more on automation to find the right airport at night, or ignore it to make a day VFR landing when the ILS is inop?
