Which is why I said I'd pull out other units to counter the goliaths, many of which build faster. A lot of zerg ground units can deal with the goliaths, especially if they're busy dealing with guardians. The guardians take care of nearly all the ground units aside from goliaths and high templars (because Psionic storm owns slow units). For those that don't, you bring in one of the several units that can or I could just slow the goliaths with my queen and cause that nice fast attack to crawl, or plague them with a defiler to cause them to act like they were made of glass. Attacking Terrans with just Guardians is stupid. As soon as they've done their job of doing significant damage to the other ground defenses the rest of the attack deals with what the Guardians can't.
As for nukes, please, they're even slower. When you see where it's going to drop, you can get the guardians out of the way easily. And that's if you don't have detection to kill the ghost (who is useless if uncloaked) and cause those resources and time to go to waste. Every good player will immediately look and most likely find where a nuke is dropping with plenty of time to avoid it or destroy a ghost. In a situation like that, it's obvious where they're going to be targeting. My overlord would find the ghost and the guardians would dispatch it in plenty of time and if I can't find it, I can always get my units out of the way.
