No, I agree that there is not enough beyond philosophical speculation as the essay now stands. But wouldn't it have been fascinating somewhere in the Silm to hear the story of Andreth and Finrod's brother and their doomed love? We have the few success stories of Mannish/Elvish unions. What about the many which must not have succeeded? What would these failed attempts have taught us? (And what a great fanfiction!)
