Tolkien did not state on opinion. Is it an opinion that Thingol was the tallest of the Children of Iluvatar? No, it's a fact. It might have been an opinion if Tolkien had written "Beren thought that Luthien was the greatest," but that isn't what he wrote. He wrote "Luthien is the greatest." Tolkien was not lying to you, kaleidoscope.
