I think it's too early to tell.

"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" but not the same as we have with "bow" and "bough," they're spelt differently, mean different things but sound the same. So there. But the real question remains. What is the solution, if any, to this problem? What can we do? What am I saying? Why am I sitting in this chair? Why am I on this programme? And what am I going to say next?

What do we mean by no, what do we mean by yes, what do we mean by no, no, no?
