It really is incredible people still think that! It's right there in detailed text in LotR, not buried in a two-line footnote in Vinyar Tengwar.
that applying real world principles to Middle-earth would be violating Tolkien's "no allegory!"
…I have been lucky enough to not stumble across that twist of it (or don't remember if I have). I suspect it's because I wasn't looking at the right place at the right time.
I'm glad to hear that other people will make use of it!
