And not a typo. The sense of the comment is abundantly clear.
No, it really isn't. In itself the sentence is contradictory. The text could be intended to mean that it is sufficient for most or that it isn't sufficient for most; the numbers could be intended to mean that 1 in 10 succeeds or that 1 in 10 fails or maybe there should have been a number other than 1. Maybe there's a typo, or maybe it was meant to be ironic in a way that's non-obvious enough that a typo is more likely. I'm honestly not sure what was intended.
