"It's too early" is about judging what the parties do with the opportunity in front of them. They are separate things.

If I sell my 1994 honda civic for $200,000, I won that deal, right?

If I then spend that $200,000 losing lottery tickets, did I somehow NOT win the deal for my Honda Civic? Of course not. I just wasted my resources.

If the person who bought my honda civic sells it for $199,500, did they retroactively make a good deal when they bought it from me? No. They just managed to recover from their mistake. Yay.

You have to separate the deal from the management of acquired resources after.

I’ll give you 100 bucks
