Stalwart supporters of Tolkien defend him by coming up with something along the lines of "A wizard did it".

I think Tolkien did it intentionally to show that even the best are capable of making the odd mistake.

You're one of those who argue that gandalf was a 3rd level illusionist with 3 artifacts aren't you (ring, sword, and staff) (actually I think Gary Gygax first made that accusation, and it has become quite popular)
