Agreed. But I’m confident a full 0.3% of software companies actually do that.

Based on that article, I’d have to ammend my statement to read:

If no one finds any high-severity or high-frequency bugs, we ship it.

Eric’s point is that sometimes the cost of fixing a bug is just too great. Either you’ll miss the window of opportunity for your product or you run the risk of introducing additional bugs. It’s a good point, one that I often overlook — especially when I’m complaining about crappy software.
