Elrond should have realized that if trying to get rid of an unwelcome suitor for his daughter by sending him on a highly dangerous mission with 0.00001% chance of success didn't work for Thingol, it probably wasn't going to work for him either. Not only did Aragorn come back alive and well, but he was king! I can only imagine how utterly sad Elrond was to see that his infinite wisdom wasn't quite so infinite.
