From a purely professional point of view -
There are no reasons to outrun your fuel supply...
only excuses.

That kind of pontification might well wait until some facts are in. For
example, suppose headwinds are forecast are 40 knots, his contingency
planning is 60 knots, and the winds turn out to be 100 knots?

Sorry.
Like I've already keenly intimated...
This would be an abominable EXCUSE.

A few facts might make a lot of difference in this discussion.

If there is *a lot* of difference....
It won't be coming from the ranks of the professionals.
