I don't know. Yes the trolls in the Hobbit were pretty stupid. But did you never get the impression that Tom, Bert and William might have been losers even among trolls? How do you suppose these three poor fools wound up so ostracized that they were living in a lousy liitle cave by the side of the road? Also, wouldn't smarter trolls have known that they were sitting on a stockpile of fine Noldorin hardware and done something more constructive then just leaving them to rust? The lousy goblins knew those blades on first sight.
You know, if space aliens came down to Earth, and the first thing they encountered was a monster-truck rally, they might not accord humans very high intelligence. I fear that Tom, Bert and William gave trolls a worser name than they deserved.
