I believe calling the Elven origin concept the 'mutilated Elves theory' is inaccurate. Orcs weren't just mutilated Elves in that construct, they were an entire race; bred from Elves and in mockery of them, but a race of their own nonetheless. Even though Elves may have been the original stock, I consider it unlikely that any true Elven blood flowed in the veins of Orcs, especially those of the later ages.
