...in what way could it be said that they were not tainted by Sauron? I understood that passage to refer to the Rings of Men and Dwarves, which Sauron also made. So long as the One has been lost, the Three have been in use. Ok, I assume, because no one is claiming ownership. But, wait: Gollum claimed ownership for a while. Was that not a problem because Gollum didn't know about the others or attempt to control them? And, Elrond and Galadriel were apparently using theirs to protect their lands from decay, and once the One was destroyed that protection was lost. But what protected them before Celebrimbor made the Three? Why do things not revert to that status?

Apparently there's a flaw inherent in Ring-of-Power making.

It does sound a bit haughty; and, a contradiction for Galadriel?
