User blog comment:RHawk/Why does Frodo take credit for destroying the ring?/@comment-4648194-20111201222410/@comment-4647864-20111203033010

According to this story, implicitly at least, no earthly creature could have. I do like the fact that Tolkien made the story and the lesson more important than the characters, otherwise Frodo would have disposed of the ring despite its powers. I just find it fascinating that many fans skip over that fact and presume that Frodo did indeed destroy the ring.
