Zil, you're underestimating the gratification inherent in believing oneself to be in possession of a hidden truth which the unwashed masses are ignorant of. Who cares for the story (except us unenlightened heathens)? The source is irrelevant - if it weren't Tolkien it would be the Bible or the Tibetan Book of the Dead or the Maya Calendar or whatever.
