I'd agree it would've been a big overreaction if that were the case. Hythlodaeus was so vague it could've meant almost anything! Whilst I'm not sure I like the sundering of everything as a solution (if it was intentional), hopefully hearing Hydaelyn's explanation of events will better explain why it was essential.
