On Sun, 8 Dec 2002, Carl Remick quoted Wired saying:

This is like the old joke about the guy who jumped off a 10 story building and was heard to say going past each window, "So far, so good."
Guilder is that guy recovering in the hospital and still proud of his 9 out of 10 record, even while conceding that last floor was a doozy.
