Reading the context (it's said in response to an evangelical trying to use Lewis' Trilemma) just makes it plain badass.
Bad-ass, but not instrumentally rational. I'm going to be polite to the police chief's (or mafia boss', etc.) son, even if the boy is rather a jerk. (Yes, I know it's possible to be polite even when forming a poor judgement, but the context was "Doesn't it matter")
Very good point.
