Eeek!
Must have missed that one for some reason.

Though I wonder how anybody could have actually known this (and live to tell). Elves wrote the Silmarillion, and who of them knew how much force Morgoth still had hidden in Angband. They say Angband was empty then, but who could really tell? I'm suspicious the author of this bit only maintains a silent (and surely understandable) grudge for those Men. But of course this is just speculation without any reason.
Enough of this blasphemy!
