His point is that random failing tests does not help anything. The green
bar is not about having a perfect system, it is about verifying that the
application behaves as it did before you added or changed some
functionallity.
If you know there is a bug and you don't know how to fix it then write
the test so it verifies that it behaves as bad as you know it will thus
when you actually fix the issue (by accident?) the test result will
change and
you get wiser.
If you got such methods name them as <whateverittests>FailureExpected
and put some reference to a jira or document the issue in the test.
Then you keep track of it!

show a bug that doesn't occur every time.
