Galorme, that's a very interesting theory. But it is most likely not true. The fact is we do not know. Tolkien never told us it's that simple.
The prejudice between dwarves and elves came from the war on beleriand. The Elf King Thingol asked the Dwarves to put the Silmaril in a necklace. When he refused to pay them the dwarves sacked menegroth. The elves resented the sack. The dwarves resented the fact that they were never rewarded for their work.
