Ha ha indeed. Though reading some of Brin's stuff again today, it is so difficult to come to the conclusion that he may have a point, one that may be deeply relevant to Tolkien. I find increasingly that while I emotionally enjoy Tolkien, I cannot intellectually justify the most fundemental aspects of his universe.
