This is a logical conclusion, but the characters do not have to act logically in the story. I believe that you have pointed out that before.

Wow, I'm not really sure about this. Can you work up the text in our version to see how it stands before I make a judgement on this. I believe that we can do it just by simply removing the mention of Maeglin extra things to the Orcs, than doing some whole modification of the text, but I'm looking foward to seeing how you would deal with your suggestion.
