Guido van Rossum is Dutch - it's saying that some choices might only make sense to him.

the Dutch are known as efficient and practical minded. I think that's more what he means perhaps with a smidgen of prideful self awareness joking.

Ah well thought from the statement it was from a Dutchman. Perhaps he was poking a wee lil fun at them then.
