Would earlier convoys guarantee Lusitania's survival?

Earlier convoy organization leaves the fate of individual ships uncertain when they can still sail independently.

Notes

Lusitania's survival remains uncertain even with earlier convoying. It would matter whether the ship joined an escorted group, and some merchant ships might still sail independently. The example shifts between Lusitania and American neutral shipping, leaving the liner's own status unclear in this argument. Earlier convoy organization therefore does not establish that this particular sinking would be avoided.
