Let me go back to the case of the Rav who told my friend to keep trying
when we all know there is a very simple heter that should (and because
she psak shopped was) employed in this case to enable her to have
children.  Is it not crystal clear that after 120 years, when this Rav
goes to face the din emes, if my friend had in fact followed his ruling,
then this Rav would have been held accountable for the children (and all
the countless generations possibly after them) that did not exist, not
to mention the enormous suffering of my friend and her husband, that he
had caused?  In fact did not my friend, on a deeper level do this Rav a
big favour, because now his din will only be dealing with theoreticals,
not actuals.
===========================================
Not crystal clear to me. Perhaps the Rav in question had other reasons
for his not using the heter, perhaps HKB"H had a different result in
mind.  As long as we're conjecturing, what if someone takes advantage of
a minority opinion and has children that they "shouldn't" have had.
Does the new rav in question suffer for that?  

Back in the real world it happens I agree with Rn'CL's approach but I'm
not certain of anything anymore when it comes to this issue of the
halachik process and the ratzon hashem (or put another way, I'm certain
of what I believe, but not at all certain that I'm right about it)
