All of this is pure conjecture but: (1) Aule and Tom had a thematic connection to the earth (2) Tom resembles dwarves on a surface aesthetic level (height, beard, etc.) (3) Tom seems to have spiritual power that gives him extra resistance to the ring's influence I'm not saying that this proves anything. I just think that there is a reason for people to formulate that theory. It's really hard to prove anything conclusively using just the text. That's why Tom gets argued about so much.
