Maybe they meant that as the Numenoreans (or at least one of them) had once managed to ‘defeat’ Sauron, they could quite possiblky defeat his Watchers, who were not as strong as he. Not sure. Is there anybody here who has read all of the HoME books and knows the answer from somewhere in there? Maybe The War of the Ring, or Sauron Defeated?
