The Insanity of Denethor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I wonder if one reason for excluding Denethor's Palantir was because without proper (and screen time consuming) explanation, audiences might have become confused between that Palantir and the Palantir of Orthanc. With all the Denethor-bashing that Gandalf perpetrates, they might have gone away with the impression that Gandalf gave it to him just so as to destabilise him.
