&gt;&gt;Similarly, it cannot be disputed that the Valar left Sauron to the elves and men during the Second Age.&lt;&lt;

I assume from this statement that you are rejecting the late concept of Glorfindel being sent to aid Gil-galad and Elrond, and the arrival of the Two Blue Wizards (Romestamo and Morinehtar) who were sent to the east in the Second Age circa 1600, which are attached to the return of Glorfindel essay and alluded to in UNFINISHED TALES as undecipherable at that time.

Un-coincidentally, this would place the event as around the same time Sauron creates the One Ring, builds Barad-dur, and when Celebrimbor discovers the treachery of Annatar.

They may have been keeping a closer watch than believed.
