But I find that to be a huge stretch. It's much easier to just take the text as what it says rather than flippantly disregarding one or the other as a mistake. You could then do that with anything you felt like. Besides that, there are other reasons it's probably not a silmaril. For instance, why would everyone be willing to bury it with Thorin. There were wars and kin-slayings over the silmarils in the First Age. I can't imagine everyone in the Third Age just deciding to leave it lie buried in Erebor.
No, it's much easier to just take the texts as face value.
"...not till now have I understood the tale of your people and their fall.
As wicked fools I scorned them, but I pity them at last.
For if this is indeed, as the Eldar say, the gift of the One to Men,
it is bitter to receive." -Arwen Undómiel

Agreed - and I Smaug certainly couldn't have sat on it for so long without suffering some torment! /
