I just realized that Gil's idea holds even more water than I before thought. Ok, I said that men weren't around before the darkness came, this is true, but it is a technicality. Men were made, along with elves, when Ea was first created(before the ainur came), maybe Tom was just stating this. I think he would do something like that too.
Of course this doesn't explain how the elves new him as being older than they.
