To start out with the goal of writing anything less than perfect code, is a sure way to create a system riddled with bugs.
This still seems to be suggesting that people who write buggy code are deliberately setting out to do so, which is not the case. I would hope *any* programmer would want to write bug-free, easily maintainable code (with the caveat of the usual "Fast. Cheap. Bug-free. Pick any two" problem), but wanting something really, really hard isn't guaranteed to make it happen!
