This discussion reminds me of Chizqiyahu getting tokhachah from Yeshaiah
for not having more children. (Berakhos 10a, based on Yeshaiah 38:1)
Chizkiyahu saw through nevuah that he would have evil children. Yeshaiah
said, basically, that it's your job to do your job, and let such
computation be Hashem's.

Similarly, li nir'eh:
It is our job to pray for life. Any further cheshbonos are Someone
Else's problem.

Tir'u baTov!
