Great post Gwaihir! Me being Australian, i appreciate someone making the effort to think outside of the square and include such a usually-never-seen parallel. Remember that our knowledge affects our being; if the elves knew that there were ways of increasing their technologies further perhaps they would of...but perhaps in ME there weren't such ways of technological advancement. They elvish psyche is so different from ours that thoughts about such advances (many of which would have seemed crude) weren't even comtemplated.
