That's a bad analogy. In football terms, it would be like George Seifert thinking he can reinvent the West Coast offense. You are working in a system created by another. It's hubris to reinvent the wheel. You want to add to it? That's fine, but it needs to fit in the existing framework.

Are you guys intentionally missing the point?

You’re actually baiting your own trap - football defenses continue to evolve so offensive frameworks and philosophies must as well

Cultural and social more have evolved tremendously in the century + since Tolkien wrote- heck they even changed enough in his lifetime that he continually revised to adapt to societal changes
If y’all are more precious with Tolkien’s writing than he was, THAT might be the point being missed
