I'm not really sure PJ unrerstood the difference between Silvan elves and High Elves, so that would explain a lot.

It's just one flaw of the movies out of a hundred.

I'm not a Jackson fan myself, but I don't see this particular scene as a flaw actually. In my opinion these Elves don't need to be High Elves to make the simple point.

Jackson did cut this scene for theatrical release in any case.

true, that.maybe PJ just wanted to shorten the story a bit, but add a dramatic line. Well, it worked.

Strange though, that he simply couldn't say 'High Elves'. Probably the audience would never understand
