Since he mostly fought at mid to close range, it wouldn't be an absurd thought, and whether or not HP is a unique stand for Joseph or a stand-like manifestation of a powerful hamaon, I think the fact that he was known for doing weird foresight gags and then got a stand that had the same ability is way too fishy. He only got his Stand when Jonathan´s body got a Stand. I think his prediction gags are just a product of analysis and misdirection on his part. It´s true that it´s not a coincidence that Hermit Purple has divination abilities, because Stands are like manifestations of the user´s spirit. Their personalities influence what a Stand´s abilities are, which is also why users with stronger spirits have stronger Stands in general. Joseph was good at predicting what his enemies would do, which is why his Stand has actual divination abilities.

That being said, I believe Joseph´s win against Kars was the biggest ass-pull in Jojo, because it was achieved by the most incredible amount of luck I've ever seen.
