I agree with Mike. It's apples and oranges, tolkien's original conception and work was done with 9.58, he may have intended to rework the whole bit with 144 but never got done, so we have to stick to the 9.58 and the writting that goes along with it.

Saul was knowledgable, but if I had to listen to 'like' and 'dude' all the time, i'd kill someone.
