It was a response to somebody who had asserted that 4e was well designed towards the simulating of fantasy literature, specifically Lord of the Rings.
It's basically the only version of D&D that doesn't require a cleric - who is, you will note, notoriously absent from the Fellowship.

However, 4e is probably not a good choice, as it is too 'tightly' bound to the rules conventions it sets up for itself. That was the point I was trying to make.
But you made the point poorly, is what people are objecting to. Because it would be trivially easy to rewrite your example, using 4E mechanics, to match what happens in the book.
So, really, you didn't demonstrate anything other than the fact that you can take an edition of D&D and be silly with it - which is a trait, as pointed out here, not unique to 4E.
