I'd guess he expected a 99% failure rate in exchange for a few highly polished gems that might be featured in a MacWorld keynote, or at the very least make it into a shipping product he could show off to his family and or friends. I think anyone should be allowed to feel disappointed at a 100% failure rate over three years, no matter how many NDAs they signed.
