Starting programmers don't have enough experience to judge
which will be less confusing in the long run, so their
opinion shouldn't be given overriding weight when designing
a language intended for real-life use.

Speaking as an experienced programmer, I'm convinced that
Python has made the right choice. Not because Dijkstra or
any other authority says so, but because of my own personal
experiences.
