Yes, that's very true. Good idea. Although the Dragons seem to be very clever and care about treasures, Carcharoth obviously also did not think at the moment he ate the Silmaril - there is no logic in eating such an object, unless he thought it tastes as good as it shines, though it's said I believe that he did not like the light. So yes, there may be something on this idea.

By the way, Sauron had recovered three of the Seven, so four were destroyed. I had to check as it started to bug me as well.

Good to know. I could have checked it by myself; but my problem is rather that still, even though I know it now, I will forget it till tomorrow. I have experience with this and similar things where you can't actually make any good mnemonic. Hmm... I may try to remember that Sauron had three Dwarven Rings, like the Elves had also Three against him. Yes, maybe that will help. Thanks for looking it up.
