Yeah, rereading it, Fatty whups him a bit too successfully. Maril once said that Frodo is very hard to defeat in an argument, and with the exception of (say) Gandalf or an elf, I think she's right; I've got to revisit that post, and toughen Frodo up a bit. He would stumble over the idea, but recover faster than I portrayed, I think.
He can still be shaken by the idea, but not quite so badly.
