"Fellowship of the Ring" Trivia

[Ultimatejoe]

Look, I know this is a friendly place, but I'd stow the ego, and fast buddy.

The Encyclopedia of Arda contains a lot of information that is conjectural or plain hypocryphal, and your dependence on it bellies what YOU understand.

Oh, and that was nice that you copied the text from that page word for word. Surely someone as gifted as yourself is capable of writing their own answer.

As for the substance of your answer: there are certain dubieties of the english language that do in fact make the answer less "logical and literal" than you may seem. Does a sculptor make a statue, or does the chisel? The uncertainty in answering that question stems from the subjective interpretation of the question. In the case of your question, the word "what" does not exclude the possibility of a person being the answer, as I'm sure someone as smart as you is well aware. Now, your answer is right, but it is by no mean the exclusive answer. On top of that, the fact remains that a tool does nothing without a guiding influence of some sort. While a car propels people from one place to another, a car doesn't drive, a person does. In the same way, the pen you refer to may have performed the interactions that resulted in moon letters, but these were guided by the hands of the dwarves. Your subjective interpretation of the question is, in my humble opinion, a rather poor one when considering this; even if it is not entirely inaccurate.
