Why?

A sensible attitude.

Probably, especially since Tolkien worked on the problem for a long time and eventually came to the conslusions presented, but does it TRULY need an ABSOLUTE answer?

Then don't fill them in, that's what imagination is for. The best one can hope for is to recognize what is canon and not (new text vs. old text) and mentally delete that which no longer is valid. If that leaves spaces, then so be it.
