I think you can find the reason for the fall of Gondolin in the Bible.
Turgon was told, "Love not too well the work of thy hands and the device of thy heart; and remember that the true hope of the Noldor lieth in the West, and cometh from the Sea." Pretty clear, is it not?
And if this isn't a Christian allusion, then I am an ostrich.
