Okay, is it bad that every time someone says "too early to tell", my brain goes to:
PRESENTER: ... Professor, you've spent many years researching into things, what do you think?
PROFESSOR: I think it's too early to tell.
Cut to presenter, he talks even faster now.
PRESENTER: 'Too early to tell' ... too early to say... it means the same thing. The word 'say' is the same as the word 'tell'. They're not spelt the same, but they mean the same. It's an identical situation, we have with 'ship' and 'boat'--
(holds up signs saying 'ship' and 'boat')
--but not the same as we have with 'bow' and 'bough'--
(holds up signs)
--they're spelt differently, mean different things but sound the same.
(he holds up signs saying 'so there')
