For diplomacy to work properly, the protagonists need to talk face-to-face, rather than one side relying on some sweet-talking spin-doctor. Communicating through intermediaries only increases the risk of mismanagement, miscommunication and misunderstanding. It seems to me that, if the Valar are forced to involve themselves directly in the lives of the Elves, rather than issuing solemn directives from on high, there will be a lot more co-operation and a lot less dischord.

Ditch the spin, I say.
