First of all, there were twenty rings, and twenty minus three equals SEVENTEEN, not sixteen.
Let's not be petty, guys.
Tinuviel raises a good question, and I'm quite interested in what the discussion will yield.
I do believe Nils was 'leveling out the playing field' by making sure any possible misconceptions were dispelled before he got into the main debate.
Personally, I wonder if Sauron's influence in itself on the Three would be enough to taint their powers. But then again, the virtue of those who wielded them would have an effect if the rings were 'evil' or not.
Peace
