I don't dispute UT's canon, I was just making a point. Nonetheless, where certain points conflict with LotR, we have to disregard them. As I said, I don't believe the UT quote is contradictory to the LotR quote.

I also agree that the tank and general analogy is not appropriate for anything more than my original purpose -- as mere comparison.

I thank you, littlemanpoet, for bringing up the point about Glaurung being inhabited by Morgoth's spirit. It was gnawing at my brain, and I wanted to mention it, but I couldn't find where I had read it so I avoided bringing it into the discussion.

Have to run now, but I will check on this thread later.
