I think it detracts from his authorship when it's suggested that the stories are real historical accounts.
Now, why would that be? I believe that they are true, and that either Eru told the Professor what the real account was, or that it was an oral tradition. But either way, JRR Tolkien was the only one to put it into writing. If it was oral, then he was the only one in his line, for thousands and thousands of years, to write it. His father didn't write it! And if indeed Eru told him, why would he choose JRR Tolkien? Because Tolkien is the best writer of all time. And even if/though they are true, he still gets all the credit in the world. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
