don't forget... [In reply to] Can't Post

Tolkien referred to his writing as "sub-creation", implying a recognition of a higher level of creation to which he deferred. A "rationalization"? Not to me.

I suppose it boils down to how comfortable we are not "knowing" everything. I always liked the idea that even Tolkien wasn't sure who (or even what) Bombadil was.
