i must say that that is an interesting way to look at it, and after a little bit of thought i must agree. Even in LotR there are other forces at work than just magic. the Valar want Gandalf to finish his task and help save Middle Earth, therefor i doubt that they would allow something like being the accidental target of Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas in Fangorn stop him. i am sure that they would intervene to make sure Gandalf got to where he needed to go.
