There is no sense trying to figure out why someone played a certain hand if you can't ask him why. I've played hands like that because "it's pretty". Stupid? Yes. Have I won hands with it? Yes. Have I been knocked out with it? Yes. If you were playing against me and I told you I played it because it's an awful rag but they were suited with A-high so it looked good, would it make you feel any better about losing to it?
