I think you've been missing my point. I'm not particularly interested in why the Elves stopped. I think the Elves stopped because of their own moral compass.
What I am interested in is proving that the Elves were stupid for not figuring it out on their own and they should not have been so surprised when the great Dwarves came over the mountains. I think the evidence in this regard is compelling. Whether the Elves made the connection after seeing the great Dwarves or whether the Dwarves showed them the error of their ways after being served roast Tad-dail on a stick isn't that vital to me.
