The more I look at this, the less sure I am what “hastily” means.
More precisely… if I understand “hastily” to mean, roughly, “more rapidly/sloppily than prudence dictates”, then this statement is trivially true. If I assume the statement is nontrivial, I’m not sure how to test whether something is being done hastily.
A good observation. I was going to suggest throwing a live hand grenade out of your tent as a counter-example—but you don’t want to do it so hastily that it misses the opening bounces back and lands in your lap.

Trivial statements are often useful as reminders of facts, particularly when those facts are tradeoffs we would rather not have to face.
