It was only an attempt to explain why there's not as many flaws as we might expect and therefor there's a reason why we tend to forget the fact that the thing we're discussing at the moment (whether it's Balrog's wings, Glorfindel's history or something else...) might be without an answer in JRRT's work. And this is an attempt to explain what I meant with my post, a proof that I have to put some more time into making my posts more understandable. Sometimes the thoughts move faster than the fingers on the keyboard... (at least that's better than the other way around)
