Well calm down Galin, I was just saying that there is another interpretation using other quote that make everything ok. I only said this because you didn't pointed out that there was another possibility and in my previous post I even said that there is more than one interpretation.
Now expecting you've calmed down I would like to ask why didn't Christopher ever mentioned that last quote?
And you should realize that the last quote kind of change years of believing about the similarities being given about Numenoreans and Noldor especially about their height(1951-68 or later) and you don't seem to care about that!! and like a Tolkien fan I think it's fine that you point out that there is others interpretations but the first thing you should do is to say the one that fits not the one that doesn't(in your posts you always treats both like contradiction and so I feel in the duty to point that that's not true).
Finally I would trust Christopher instead of Hammond any time.
