I don't think the author would disagree. He's saying that if you avoid crunch 99% of the time then crunching for the last 1% isn't very bad and might even be good. He's not saying you can avoid 99% but the last 1% is inevitable.

I don't think it's inevitable at all. If you plan for slippage by not being too optimistic with time schedules then it can be avoided.

I said the author is not saying it's inevitable.
