So, yes, Tolkien thought that it was best left to the Imagination. PJ in the movies did use the same passages that I read to show the "birthing pits" beneath Isengard when he was raising the Uruk-Hai
By the way what is this intended to mean? that Jackson used 'the same passages' that this person read... meaning the Marquette papers in question? If so, Wayne Hammond and Christina Scull, authorized by the Tolkien Estate to (recently) write and publish three highly detailed volumes about Tolkien's life and work... somehow missed these papers and notes on 'Orc-farming'?

But Peter Jackson or someone from the films saw them, and Jackson himself never noted this in any of the DVD commentary to explain his 'birthing pits'?
