Of course a decision can't be made with 0% information, and waiting for 100% information in unnecessary. But how would one arrive at the range of 40-70%? For a decision about risky surgery I would hope that the amount of known information is much closer to 90%.
"40-70 rule" seems like a banal remark once you realize different decisions require different amounts of information
