In reference to your antithesis, perhaps Gimli's reference was to the darkness that seemed to come from the steed?

The point is that Gimli mistook a flying creature for a balrog, and Frodo's only stated reason for believing otherwise was that it 'felt colder.'

Hasn't this discussion (and virtually any discussion of Balrog wings/lack thereof) become a tad pointless? I mean, clearly we're all rather locked into our opinions...
