Jaffe's reply makes sense, he's basically saying that Miyamoto's games also have things in them that don't make any sense and are just there for gameplay value so he should be the last person questioning such things in other peoples' games.
I mean why an Italian plumber? Why turtle soldiers? Why was the princess named Princess Toadstool and then later called Princess Peach? Why mushrooms as powerups?
In the interview it's obvious that Jaffe is being baited but that's no excuse to put him down for replying with an answer that actually is pretty valid given the question.
