If Saruman's theory of where the Ring had gone, (floated down the river and out to Sea never to be seen/worn again) had actually occured, would not the three Elven rings' power never end? Granted they'd still have to fight that Royal pain in the neck Sauron and all his not-so-little armies in Mordor, but still, it's my understanding that it was the destruction of the One that brought an end to the powers of the others. Thus, if the One were lost and never destroyed, the Three would continue on... Right?
