Yeah, same. It suggests that you must be employing one of the time-honored approaches to getting zero bugs:

* Redefine all bugs as features

* Redefine "bug" to conveniently only apply to the things your system prevents

* Don't write software

This reminds me of bugzilla's "Zarro Boogs" phrase that pointedly avoids saying "Zero Bugs" because it's such a deceptive term, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugzilla

Being able to say "no bugs" with justifiable confidence, even when restricting it to some class of bugs, is truly a great and significant thing. cf Rust. But claiming to have no bugs is cringeworthy.
