[Avengers Infinity Wars]Did Dr. Strange know this all along?

Throughout the film, there were multiple events that could have prevented the snap like: like Star Lord not losing his mind, Thor going for the head, Wanda destroying the mind stone before Thanos gets the Time stone; yet Doctor Strange didn't prevent any of it. What if Doctor Strange thought Thanos's plan made sense after all and he intended half the universe to stay dead for five years so that the remaining half learnt the value of conserving the finite resources in the universe? What if he ONLY intended the snap to be undone after humanity [and other sentient life in general] had learnt it's lesson? In the 14,000,605 outcomes he saw, could it be possible that he saw the Avengers winning several times but leading to a future where all resources are consumed and life slowly and painfully ceases to exist?

Strange had no way of telling Thor to go for the head. He also had no way of telling Wanda to destroy the Mind Stone faster. If he had delayed Thanos getting the Time Stone Thanos would have probably killed Iron Man. Then Thanos can just go to Earth and reverse the Mind Stone’s destruction.

Not to mention Strange had to plan out the events to make sure Scott Lang was in the Quantum Realm when Thanos snapped. A couple minutes too early or late and Scott would have been outside and unable to help the Avengers discover time travel in the future.

As for Star Lord, we never see the future that would have come from Star Lord staying calm. But I’m guessing it’s worse than the current MCU (things seem to nearly have returned to normal by the time of Far From Home)
