I agree, but I would add (and not that you said otherwise) that Tolkien was quite clear about this in such text as he made public to his readership: Galadriel was a leader in the Rebellion and was under a ban while others of the Noldor were allowed West.


Enter the posthumous publications and 'canon' related debate (run away!) and then we raise the mirk in Mirkwood, so to speak.


Sorry to digress. Couldn't resist. Carry on
