Test-First in system testing?

Just described in Why do we write Test Cases? that my current approach is:
First exploratory testing and then (later) writing test cases about what was tested to reuse in regression. It seems to be extremely opposite to test-first idea. I’m not against test-first idea. I’m for balance. If developers to test-first, then we should do just the opposite to bring balance and to find different types of defects.
And the test design-execute approach was exactly the same as test-first, which I’m against for system level testing. For Unit level and Acceptance level – I agree with.
