You know, for an Overmind, Sauron has one heck of a blind spot! He doesn't figure out the key plan of the Enemy (our good guys) until the very end, when Frodo claims the Ring at the Cracks of Doom and thus lays himself bare to the Eye. Only then does he see his folly, and then it is too late. Some Overmind! Or perhaps that is the nature of an overmind; he's so busy being cruel and controlling and making the larger moves against the larger foes, that he forgets or underestimates, the tiny hobbits who are his undoing in the end. Now an Overmind who thought with special malice towards large AND small, every detail, now THAT would be scary!

Cheers,
Lyta (the Absentmind)
