I've seen some people try to explain the improbability of Boromir's finding Rivendell due to his being picked up by maybe a stray Ranger (who gave him directions) or even the sons of Elrond who led him those last tricky miles. Quite reasonable, especially when you consider how E&E managed to keep Aragorn from Frodo's recovery feast because they had Very Important News to Give Him; but that's also the realm of fan fiction.
