I'm very sorry that Tolkien didn't spell everything out for you.

And if Tolkien doesn't explicitly explain something in the text, then of course it's inapporpriate to consider everything that might be true of the situation to figure it out. Because if Tolkien didn't tell us exactly how something happened, it's a plot hole. I'm confused about what you want - people have been speculating about answers to your question and you scold them for doing so, insisting that since Tolkien didn't give the answer, there must be none. So why ask in the first place? What exactly do you want?
all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us...
