Leaving the thesis out makes it seem the writer is so unsure of their thesis that simply writing it would undermine the core of their message. Almost a rhetorical equivalent of a “comb over” just waiting for a strong gust of wind to betray the charade. Or outright arrogance, at worst.
The thesis of an essay or writing should be like a power chord or ballad-it should be directly addressed early, often, and the more clearly expressed the better.
