Meaning
This reads as a dry joke about overanalysis, where reason is treated as a kind of nuisance rather than a virtue. It can be taken to mean that too much reflection can slow people down, or expose how rare clear, thoughtful choices really are. It lands in a moment of indecision, when someone has thought everything through and still cannot quite act.
