Perhaps it's one of those contradictions that either Tolkien didn't notice or didn't change. Or perhaps that was said to the Numenoreans as a bit of a scare tactic to keep away. Not unlike perseption of heaven being the best so why isn't everyone that believes in it killing themselves to get there sooner and so they are told that suicide is a sin.
