You might think that making sure your children will be cared for after you are dead is an impossible desire. You might think that leaving a will specifying your intentions for unpublished work is an action with an expected outcome. The line between actions with expected outcomes and impossible desires seems hard to establish.

Making sure your children will be cared for after you are dead is also impossible, but at least there are well-established legal processes to make an attempt. I think it's actually pretty easy to establish that line.
