Another point to be made has a tie in with the Foresight_of_the_Ainur thread. The Elves forsee a possible event, something that will happen if things remain on the same course. The course is changeable by those not bound by fate, that is Men. But if the Elves tell Men what they have forseen, then Men might come to believe that that is the only possible future and then not do anything to change it. A good example would be Denethor and the palantir.
