Ok, Dior, but is it really a matter of numbers of men? Isn't there something in the character of Elves & men which will draw them towards one or the other extreme?. Men would be more easily seduced by Morgoth, as something in him corresponds to something innate in their character, whereas Elves wopuld be more easily seduced by Sauron - hence the whole rings thing. Yes, there's the Numenorians, but in a way, weren't the Numenorians quite 'Elvish', at least in their desires/attitudes?
