"...if all developers can understand that you can have 100% code coverage and you can still have lots and lots of bug..."

1. Nobody would use the term "100% code coverage". It means as much as "100 foos". When you talk about code coverage and attach a percentage in front of it, you better mention what code coverage criteria you are using. It's hard to imagine such thing as 100% code coverage that's useful, at least not in real product.

2. Code coverage doesn't mean code quality. Code with higher % code code coverage (any criteria) does not mean better quality.
