Wings & Ears: Why Bother?

[Encaitare]

But I will admit there is a point where my own imagination would take over and the professor's opinion would be second. I wonder if there is anyone else who feels this way....

I don't really feel this way about anything M-e related, but (also going along with one of Child's examples) it is my belief that if you don't like the ending to a story, there is nobody to say that you cannot make up your own. To continue this idea, I conclude that none of this "really" matters. I don't think that Balrogs were "supposed to" (i.e.: according to what Tolkien wrote) have wings, yet all the images I see of them are wingéd. So sometimes in my mind they have wings, and sometimes they don't. Usually I'm not thinking about Balrogs, so this is an internal debate which I fortunately must face only rarely.

The whole issue has a cheezy aroma of C-thread, Professor Hedgethistle, sir. You are trying to revive canonicity issue again? Six armed winged bark eater by any other name...

EDIT lol, mark, funny how golf ball of the thought may fall into the same slot sometimes... END OF EDIT
