Yes, good pointer! After reading that, I've developed the theory that one of the functions of the Rings of Power, at the very least the three Elven Rings, was to enhance (or maybe to attempt to bestow or even corrupt the skill in the case of the Seven and Nine) this skill. And that would also answer the quotes that zxcvbn brings up about Elrond and Galadriel. Why would they need Palantiri if the Rings had this function? Though of course this idea must be tempered by the fact that they had to keep their Rings hidden after Sauron created the One.
