So, wait, you're trying to argue that my proof that the Silmarils aren't jewels is... somehow...
WRONG?
I think I shall faint.
Tell you what might be fun, and entirely on-topic for this thread: figuring out whether there's anything
else it's possible to argue balrogs have in the text.
The obvious ("obvious") one is that Durin's Bane isn't actually humanoid! It's described as "of man-shape
maybe", but it's clear they couldn't see all that well and just didn't get around to giving a better description. As becomes clear from "Its streaming
mane kindled, and blazed behind it", and the way it keeps jumping around - it's actually a centaur.
A winged one.
