Interestingly enough, this is not the first time that we have seen this side of Houtaro. Way back in Episode 6 he expressed very similar sentiments when thinking of Chitanda's motivations for pursuing the mystery of that episode. Spoiler for Episode 6 Monologue:
As can be seen, this unassuming attitude is nothing new for Houtaro. The biggest difference this time, as pointed out by GMT, is that rather than simply claiming he wouldn't be able to understand and leaving it at that, Houtaro is now actively attempting to understand others. As for why he might be making that change? It is the natural progression of his transition from a "gray" life to a "rose-coloured" life, however muted that rose color might be. |

As to why this change has happened I think it just connects to the last couple arcs. Failing to read Irisu's motives and initially what the script writer truly wanted from her story. Then following that up with seeing how Tanabe truly felt frustrated at how the Student Council President didn't understand his feelings or intentions. Maybe Houtarou just doesn't want to be left making people feel that miserable because he didn't understand them enough. Do think this change will be tied quite closely with the key point of this arc. Might tie into Houtarou getting closer to Chitanda and even understanding how Satoshi has been feeling as of late.

I didn't even realize the green signal after Oreki's parting words until Haak pointed it out. Goes to show that a lot of the great things in this show can easily fly above a viewer's head if he doesn't pay attention.
