I was also pointing out that it is not an error but an internal shift that Tolkien made late in his development of Middle Earth that was never fully implemented and integrated. It is good that you can dismiss the irreconcilable incongruities inherent in work that the author never indented for publication, other wise it might be hard for you to speak with authority and certainty. My point of contention is that you have made an assertion of fact about a subject that has no absoult resolution, because of three points; one the work contradicts its self even if you exclude the Silmarillion, two the world was never brought to a state of completion, three the author is dead and died before these works were published, edited, or authorized.</blockquote>
