So I undermined my own point. Ouch. Anyway, you've just said it there so I think my work is over in that area.

So Mac, the people learnt everything from higher civilisations (seems like a modern conspiracy theory). That is a good point. But even though we have a whole topic devoted on it, we still don't know whether the Ainur learnt the slow hard way, or were immediate masters (I tend to think the latter, though).
