I like Blantyr's points. But I want to add something.
What Tolkien presented was not plan A, nor B, nor C. It was more like Plan T.
Many, many people failed of their duty before only nine people - make that eight because Boromir failed for a short while that almost cost the West everything.
What really happened was that the West made it through, by the skin of their teeth, long after plan a had failed, long after B, C, D, and so forth had failed.
