Very true, Roa_Aoife - they really don't have a great track record; if they were as wise as they're supposed to be, ME would be in trouble, because their population would be a lot bigger - ever noticed how they kill each other off? But there's another factor: they're leaving ME. They know it. Those left behind are going to have to handle everything themselves and not rely on the wisdom of the "big brothers and sisters". And if the Elves got it wrong, they wouldn't be the ones who would suffer! So it's understandable that they'd be careful with advice.
