Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
A sharp, sarcastic compliment aimed at questionable judgment rather than genuine bravery. The speaker mocks an unimpressive choice while grudgingly acknowledging the nerve it took. It's teasing admiration wrapped in disbelief at someone's oddly reckless decision, softened by wit.
