You don’t provide any evidence for your belief about Saruman other than that it is your belief. Same for Eönwë and Árien. Individual unsupported belief is not a valid argument.
Tolkien also indicates that all comments about Árien are part of the Mannish
Silmarillion tradition, and so not necessarily true.
