"Go not to the Elves for counsel, for
they will get it wrong every time" might have been a better quote for Frodo to have given.
The Elves have great knowledge and their art seems more like magic to mortals but they show little wisdom. Their history is one long story of disaster after disaster. Even their few successes, such as the victory of Last Alliance, are won at great cost.
Go to the Elves for counsel?
You'd be better of going to the Trolls.
