Ah so then since we broke the Japanese code and had a note with the Japanese plans in our pocket, so to speak, then Midway was entirely due to luck?

Not entirely, but due to a large extent. Look up that "lost squadron." Were it not for that bit of luck, things would have turned out quite differently.

Unfortunate for the Squadron, but of immense value to our side that things just worked out as they did.

Your opinion is duly noted.
