The author says it's a paradox that although management cannot tell the difference between a good developer and a bad one, the good developers are the ones ultimately held responsible for the product. It's no mystery: the difference between a good developer and a bad one is that a good developer already holds himself personally responsible for the quality of the product.

What if s/he holds hirself personally responsible and the product still sucks? I suppose these developers would weed themselves out eventually. But what if a developer holds hirself personally responsible for the quality of the product, thinks the product is good, but is wrong?
