I think that it would be strange for the steward of Gondor, who sends out his son to do a dangerous, and mostly hopeless job, to have more courage than the hero, who, even though he is a small hobbit used to comfort, travels half across the world to save the world, when he could have not said anything at the counsil, and just stayed there, or returned home.

Well I'm sure you are talking strictly movie storylines, but in the books Denethor didn't really want Boromir to go to Imladris. But on the topic, I kind of understand what you are saying about the outcome of Frodo's actions, although in my opinion matching Denethor's actions to Frodo's and saying one affected the other is really random to me. Maybe I just need to understand the claim better.
