Very true, and that is just one flaw of MovieElrond (see the movie thread Aragorn and Elrond for more).
dininziliel's Tolkien quote on faith brought to mind that passage from the Bible: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". It is not based on reason but on the the sparkle of deity, the inner goodness inside all of us that tells us to do the right thing.
