burrahobbit,
You do seem to pick and choose which statements of Tolkien that you want to listen to. I feel that the bulk of Tokien's letters that I have read so far, outweigh and disprove your argument.
Not only do I still disagree with your interpretation and feel that you are being narrow, I also feel that your words have been rather rude. That is unfortunate; on a forum like this, politeness and civility are highly valued. I hope that the thread can continue in a civil manner.
