'think not' wasn't a good way to put it at all.

Rather, his reasoning doesn't make sense to me. He is the author/creator of this world and it is not some sort of requirement that it make sense, but anyway... She happens to have an ancestry including both elves and men. Because of this chance, she has the freedom to do as she wishes for such a long time while others must suffer the cold reality that they will a) soon turn to ashes and be completely forgotten, or b) live forever and the years will wear on them endlessly as they see others come and go and the world around them change uncontrollably. Were Elros' children given this choice? Why then would Aragorn not have this same choice, and the possibility arises that they may live together forever? Perhaps you could offer further insight.
