While you may be correct as to Tolkien's intentions behind the revision, you are also right in saying the goals of the project may not align with this. As Tolkien never laid such an intention out explicitly, there is no reason (according to our rules) to enact such a radical change to the text. However, in terms of personal canon, it is definitely a defensible position.

Also, apologies if I'm basically just interrupting there ...

... I just wanted to add a possible answer to the above question, but I don't mean to try to press my opinion into the project.
