The reference refers to the F16s ability to outfly the pilot and, before g-limiting software, cause them to lose consciousness and plow into the ground. If anything, it was a compliment to the F16s amazing maneuverability as a dogfighter.

When i was doing some photo work for the fighter factory in Fort Worth, they told me that the F-16 is built such that is always wants to climb and that if it was not for the computer making constant corrections, the thing would be almost impossible to fly.
