I agree the quote is too glib. But the charitable read I have is that a "strategic decision" by definition is a choice between options that each have some pros and cons. If you end up feeling purely happy about a decision, the alternatives you discarded must have had no upsides for you to feel a shred of regret about. The quote doesn't specify the magnitude of "hurt," after all.
