Well, whether Elves were 'blockers' or not, does it matter so very much? I have regretted for a very long time not being able to go somewhere peaceful and see nothing but the natural world...anywhere you go there are houses, electricity pylons, telephone cables...or a nice lovely motorway going right through it. The Lake District is beautiful, but is also affected. I don't really like the idea of progress at the expense of the rest of the world. It scares me. And what is the point anyway????
And about those advancements during wars. The advancements are not restricted to develpments in weaponry. Medicines have made huge leaps during wars, simply because more were needed, so money was poured in to research and manufacture etc.
