I don't think it's such a bad story. It gives a good view of how the Inklings "operated" and how they interacted with each other. So Dyson didn't like LotR. Maybe that dislike was helpful to Tolkien; perhaps it gave him a more clear sense of who he was writing for and why.
Dyson wanted centre stage and sometimes he was given it. Maybe he preferred readings from Amanda McKittrick Ros?
