I think it's safe to say we've seen the DO make a few mistakes (the biggest of which will probably prove to be creating Padan Fain. )
There was no way for the DO to foresee Fain being "corrupted" (
) by Shadar Logoth.

Law of Unintended Consequences. There was no way to foresee it, no, but had the DO not done what he did it wouldn't have been possible, and in the end it looks like it may prove the Shadow's undoing.
I dont think the DO knows about that Law.

Although given how we know Oaths work, they wouldn't have to die.
