I didn't say that 1 = 10. What I was saying is that if 1 = 10, then you can conclude everything from this, even the greatest nonsense. That's why it is not really a good idea to assume 1 = 10.

One of the thrilling things in Tolkiens cosmos is that it is wholly consistent. It is, in my opinion, nonsense to ask what would happen if we add some obviously inconsistent assumpion, like "There are 10 different rings, each of them beeing the mighties of all rings".
