Findorfin,

PJ may have fabricated the Uruk-hai/half-orc for dramatic effect, or he may have simply made a mistake. Or perhaps, he saw the same similarities between the two that I see, and drew a conclusion.

Perhaps Saruman truly believed that the half-orc he created were indeed Uruk-hai of the same order as Sauron's. Maybe Saruman's Uruk-hai outside of Helm's Deep, shouting "we are the fighting Uruk-hai" weren't Uruk-hai at all, but were half-orcs sharing the same dellusion as Saruman.

Hmmmm.
