You're right, but let's not forget we've already "geoengineered" numerous times. Various dam projects, islands creation, connecting waterways that didn't previously connect.... And we made plenty of mistakes then. I have even less faith in this. We will probably hyper focus on what humans need vs what the planet needs and target some metric that only after we achieve it, realize it's terribly wrong.
