True enough, we ought to take into consideration that he is not the brightest commander ever.
Maybe the reason you mentioned played its part somewhere there as well However, I would imagine Fëanor also sort of a... well, not exactly a warrior. Yes, a warrior... but not that it would be his main... how to explain it... you see, Fëanor is simply "Multiclass" Fingolfin is mainly a warrior, as well as Túrin and Húrin and rest of the folk... though as you mention the quotation, I wonder if it's not after all the one I was speaking about in my first post here... but that does not mean he would need to be the greatest warrior... od does it? Body... endurance... valour...strength?
