I think that's underestimating the German code-breaking efforts. A lot is said of the breaking of Enigma, but the Germans had their successes as well. Frequently the patrol line was placed on a
known route rather than one that was guessed at. You could say it would then be very unlucky if no U-Boat made contact.
