I think that the attitude of the 37signal guys will eventually backfire, and it might be about to happen.
Whenever someone comes out guns blazing promoting something as the next coming of christ (excuse the verbose wording) people will have a tendency to want to pull them back down to earth, and look for small mistakes that they can use to do so.
Just the other day on YC news I saw a comment about their book getting real being "a load of bullshit", and I have seen comments like it elsewhere.
The people that have long term success tend to be much more humble about what they do. Linus Thorvalds is a good example. We don't want to bring him back down to earth, because he already has his feet solidly planted there.
I have absolutely nothing against the 37signal guys, just pointing out how human nature works...
