意思
After thinking about it again.
文化背景
The Dutch value 'voortschrijdend inzicht' (progressive insight). It is socially acceptable and even encouraged for politicians and leaders to change their minds if new facts emerge. In Flanders, the phrase is also common, but they might use 'bij nader inziens' (with an 's') slightly more often in formal writing, which is an older genitive form. In Dutch meetings, using this phrase helps you avoid appearing 'eigenwijs' (stubborn). It shows you are listening to your colleagues. Dutch students are taught to be critical of their own work. 'Bij nader inzien' is a common phrase in the 'discussie' section of a thesis.
The Inversion Trick
If you find inversion hard, put 'bij nader inzien' at the end of the sentence. 'Ik doe het toch niet, bij nader inzien.' This is grammatically easier!
Don't over-formalize
Don't use it for every tiny change of mind with your best friend, or you'll sound like a lawyer. Use 'toch maar' for small things.

Politeness
This is the best phrase to use when you have to cancel a meeting. It sounds much more professional than 'I can't come'.
