Good call, O Angry One. Aulë himself, IMO, wasn't really too much of a problem. But certain bad seeds were attracted to him and his knowledge. Materialism is of course a source of many of the terrible things that occur in our world on a daily basis. And delving too deeply into science and technology corrupted Sauron and Saruman.
What was the saying applied to Fëanor, something like "Love not too greatly the work of thine hands". True words. I bet he would have given up all three Silmarils for a chance to get his father back. Oh, wait, elves can come back from Mandos - what am I saying?!
Aulë is the Workshop teacher at every school. Those damn workshop boys - so evil (myself excluded of course).
