I'm just waiting for someone to ask me (during an interview) what I can bring to "the position" that others can not.

Answer: A 12-foot-long stuffed blue centipede that makes obnoxious noises when you squeeze its head, and glow-in-the-dark skull-bead curtains.

Over on the swtest-discuss list, Gerold Keefer says:

a more fruitful concept for discussing product quality than "defect free" is "failure free" in the sense that if the product is used as specified the user will experience "zero failures" or, technically correct, close to "zero failures". in this sense i would not mind people setting the "zero failure" flag and this could be a benefit for the industry.
