Quempel has just left Hobbiton.
My point is that there are two sets of creatures/beings. Both created by the Valar, both with special abilities. Yet you refuse to acknowledge that dwarves have any ablities at all and assign to them human standards, when they are not human. Elves having special ablities is ok, dwarves no. Horses having special abilities is ok, dwarves no. Dunedain having special ablities is ok, dwarves no. All of this even though Tolkien said Dwarves are strong and have endurance (an endurance you equate with mine working, which is your assumption only) Why I do not know. I am supposing you have never seen a football lineman run 10 miles a day with full equipment on.


As for Gandalf vs. Witchking, the Wiki was a mere mortal stuck in a time-warp demon state. Gandalf was not. I think the changing/adding of that scene in the movie was a poor judgement on PJ's part.
