I mention this because there may be cases where a team cannot be a 10 at anything.

It does translate a little better with the context added of considering your resources when he uses that quote. Teams that have people, money, machining resources, and experience accrue "robot points" over time in a way, so when you come to the "robot store" you can cash them in for creating a number of core functionalities that meet higher and higher levels of quality as you have more points to spend. So yes, o na scale from 1-10, a team may only be able to do one thing at an 8/10 instead of a 10/10.
