True. Only way this could bite you is if you've surpassed what natural play would achieve, by a considerable amount.
e.g. natural play would arrive at 10 or even 100 stat points, but heavy stat grinding has allowed you to reach 1,000 points.
Dev may have plans to write stuff in for future events and maybe predicted that someone may have pushed it to 500, or so.
As such sets the next trigger at 750, thinking that no-one is going to have burned up to 1,000 yet.
Agree entirely that it's pretty unlikely. Would certainly require a massive amount of bad luck across multiple variables. Far too much coincidence needed.
But, just to say, it might be worth having a save where you've not bumped the stats to crazy high levels.
You never know lol
