It is interesting talking about elves. It seems to me that Elves tend to advance to a certain point and then they stop at the pinnacle of it.
Consider the Teleri with their white Ships in the havens of Alqualondë before the Kinslaying. They said that they could never make a ship better than that. I as a human being cannot understand that. How is it possible to reach a pinnacle? I just simply cannot fanthom the idea that you can make something and be unable to make something better. I think that that is the great thing about humans in ME and in general, they can always improve.
