He also said "Each day you fix some bugs and you find some new bugs." The implication is you can only fix bugs you're aware of. What he says is "if we keep finding and fixing bugs at the current rate, according to our bug tracking statistics, we'll hit zero in 16 days". He does not claim "there will be no bugs left whatsoever".

He just needs to word things better in the overly-critical age we live in now. And not leave it up to his "beloved" community to do it for him. Thats all!
