There is a more boring explanation; Maybe Tolkien just thought it sounded cool that Tuor became immortal. And then he wanted some problems with the numenoreans, so he made Elrond and Elros half-elves to create some havoc. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
No, back to real life; You have to assume that Tour became immortal, because it is the only real difference between men and elves. Otherwise it would have no meaning, writing that he was counted like the Eldar. And if Eru meant that he was worthy of immortality, then would not the ringbearers? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
