My argument is on the futility of "killing" something that will just come right back at you. would you waste precious time zapping the undead, instead of retreating from them?
Or convincing them into not coming back, if you could? This is my statement: The Elves were wise to hold back. In doing so they saved lives that would have been spent in futility.

Firstly I'd like te repeat my earlier question, where did Tolkien say that?
Secondly I'd like to remind you of Sauron. Huan fought Sauron and he died. Numenor fought Sauron and he eventually died. The last alliance fought Sauron and he died. Judging from that it looks like all of the wise people ever in the whole world would waste their time in the futility of killing something that would just come back.
