Giving Lessans credit for being someone "who was extremely insightful and precise in his observations" is an excellant example of a "premature conclusion". We have no reason to believe that he was extremely insightful or that his observations were precise. Giving him credit for something before we have a reason to believe it is true would be extremely premature.
