Not very meaningful, isn't it ?

The error says it unambiguously, dir() does not take *keyword*
arguments; instead dir() takes *positional* argument:

     dir("Explicit is better than implicit")

I think the point is that both cases are documented exactly the same.

In what case(s) would a keyword arg to bool be reasonable?

It's just an implementation detail. It's not worth the electrons wasted in this thread already.
