Just wait till they have to divide the budget...


But seriously. The idea that ultimately all will come to follow the Plan may be a reconciliation of free will in a predestined world or of bad people in a good world, but it doesn't make bad things good. There's gotta be some responsibility and accountability in the moment regardless of "The Plan" in the distant future. I think I agree with Mandos here, even though I don't think most things the Noldor did in their exodus were evil.
