I think it's clear what you mean, and as I said I agree with it. However, I am now speaking only of the thing that probably the Ring will ultimately make Galadriel, let's say, build the Dark Tower. Of course she (herself), even corrupted with power (and the more) would prefer a titanic Mallorn tree. But I think that someday the Dark Tower will come - it seems strange and as I said, it would have to take millenia. But it is the Sauron's will in the Ring, thus HIS image of the world, that will leak through. I am not saying Galadriel's mega-Lórien won't be evil, but I am only pointing out one aspect of the Ring that we know about. This is not about power any longer, it is about Sauron's will leaking through. Galadriel will create the Megalórien, a tyranny of itself, different from the stereotypical tyranny of Sauron, but then, I think Sauron's personality stored in the Ring will gnaw its way through and could lead Galadriel to do some of these stereotypical evil things. Against her own, albeit tyrannic wishes, to be absolutely clear.
