Granted! Indeed, as the grey company (the Dunedain that go meet with Aragorn in Rohan) are leaving Rivendell and as Elrond is telling them their last words the following happens:
Elrond (solemnly): "And tell Aragorn, son of Arathron that when time presses he must seek... Tom Bombadill!! Dude, what are you doing all the way here? man, come here, give me some sugar... oh dude, I haven't seen you in so long! how's the wife?"
Aragorn is very confused by those words and spends his time pondering them. By the time he realizes that it was just Elrond being happy about Tom visiting him all of a sudden and decides to ride to war, it's too late and Middle Earth is lost.
I wish that hobits rather than being "halflings" were "twice-as-much-lings"
