There was no way for him to use the sample of ants he had observed to predict something like Neferpitou. There is just too large a discrepancy and he can only plan based on the intel that he has.

Yeah. But with so many unknowns, he should have really considered sending Gon & Killua packing. Especially when he started to get the bad vibes. His intentions were nothing but good and probably he considered himself to be playing a part in Ging's grand and inhuman game to turn Gon into another monster, but logically thinking you should only bring newbies, especially underage ones, on a mission where there are no unknowns to speak of and especially no bigger threat to risk unleashing (this was a mission to stop the ants, not to train Gon & Killua, after all). This mission had nothing but unknown factors.

Yeah. But with so many unknowns, he should have really considered sending Gon & Killua packing. Especially when he started to get the bad vibes.

When he started getting those vibes, they were already too close to the nest. It wouldn't have been prudent to ask them to split, if he actually cared about them as friends. What if they were targeted by an ant that could kill them off but Kite would have been able to deal with. Again, there were unknowns but he was going through the process of collecting information which is about as much as he could hope to do. Who knew that the information he collected would be so misleading.
