Well, I suppose so, if mere repetition of the alliterative pattern were the simple aim. And, anyway, 'connoisseurs' in the context ("context! We must have context"

If I may interject here, your question reminds me of the potential in rpgs, an alternate universe type of rpg. Perhaps one could role play a War of the Rings that is not a war.
