I've always read the expression backwards: With enough eyeballs, the shallow bugs will be found.

Things like spelling errors in print statements, comments etc gets corrected. By off by one errors, use after free and all kinds of subtle logical problems that only manifests once in a while and after long execution will require a focused effort to find (and more and more, good tools.) Daniels description matches this sentiment.

At least you've never read it as "With enough bugs, the shallow eyeballs will be found".

True. Nor that enough eyeballs with bugs will be found at the shallow end.
