This seems a dumb semantic mistake, not a deep truth. You’re confusing “going to” as a prediction and “going to” as a statement of intent. You might prefer the word “intend” if that’s what you mean. And however you phrase it, there is uncertainty in both your chance of success, and limits to the amount of effort and risk you’ll undertake to accomplish this particular mission.
