From the article:
The zero-day type of exploit is discovered, not as part of the security research process, but when an active exploit is using a vulnerability the software developer was previously unaware of. Many different groups at that point rush to reverse-engineer the exploit to document the vulnerability. Antivirus vendors compete to be first to announce a method to detect and fix the exploit, and the software vendor must devise and release a patch immediately to combat the exploit.
This was in the paragraph RIGHT AFTER the paragraph you quoted.
Easy way to "debunk" someone:
1) Say they said something they didn't say
2) Discredit the assumption
3) Then say (*tada*)
