Don't know if the writer was responsible for the title, but I suspect it was just an attempt to be eye catching. If it had appeared in an academic journal like Tolkien Studies, or Mallorn, it would be a different matter.

And I've noticed a few inconsistencies in the negative revues as well, but they tend not to get the same level of criticism
