Such a quote would be patently untrue even from the viewpoint of legitimate researchers that have open bugs with them. Such bugs are "zero day", though the vendor may be aware of them. Further, of course, it would be impossible to prove that "zero day do not exist", though you can prove that "zero day do exist" -- but then, they wouldn't truly be "zero day" now, would they? The webdav bug of last year was a nice example of zero day in a major Microsoft application being used by a malicious attacker. (Against the US military, no less. Kudos to the US military admins. ) Though one should not create a trend from such a small sample... it is definitely safe to say that "this is a trend"... considering the obvious factors behind it.
