But the fact is that the text of "The Children of Hurin" is entirely in the author's (So J.R.R. Tolkien) words - apart from very minor reworkings of a grammatical and stylistic nature.
I think that is explicit enough surely. I think CT would have to had a complete personality change to start playing fast and loose with the stories at this stage...
