I'm sorry, but I believe it is you who is mistaken, at least in part. If you read about the rings, it is said that when Sauron completed the One Ring and put it on, the Elves sensed the true purpose of the rings, took them off, and hid them from Sauron. Why would they do this if the One Ring had no power over them whatsoever? They only used the power of the Elven rings once the One was lost. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I believe that is the true nature of the relationship of the rings. Again, if I'm wrong, I apologize to the wiser knowledge here.
