You seem to have taken my statement that all trolls in the WotR were Olog-hai more literally than I meant it. That possibility was intended as a rhetorical foil to my premise that there really weren't any Olog-hai. That is the premise that I have meant to assert, at least to some degree all along.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not attempting to foreclose the question. I don't pretend to have exclusively the right answer. I'm thinking this out aloud among you. But the logic of your post supports something about my claim. You'd think that the Prof. would've called them Olog-hai if they were in fact Olog-hai. That he doesn't call them that doesn't preclude the possibility that any exist, but it seems odd that we don't see any.
