Because it says that Luthien was an absolute exception it seems to me that Dior was a mortal, and so were his two sons. Now that causes a problem because if both Dior and his sons were considered Mortal then should not have been allowed to chose which race to belong to. Also there is the situation with Prince Imrahil. His foremother, Mithrellas, was an elf, but none of his ancestors were given the choice of which race they desired to belong to. There seems to be a double standard.
