Well that's just it... I'd say they are too, but on what evidence really?

Ok, let me rephrase a little bit:
If we do not find any evil deeds perpetrated by Hobbits, is it because they are able to stand by a higher moral code (unlike for instance humans) or because they are one dimensionally good? (just like there are lots of one dimensionally bad characters)
