For me JRR and Christopher Tolkien were/are too close to the material. I see it as a mother with a child - they love their child unconditionally and even if they do something wrong they will still love them, its not rational.
Someone who is less attached can be more rational about the book (well some, lol).
This is not saying JRR or Christopher are mad, i think everyone here knows i have the up most respect for them. But i can totally understand how they are so engrossed in their lives work that what they see on the screen is not what they envisioned and so dont think it captures the fullness and beauty of their work.
To me that makes sense but sometimes i cant articulate my thoughts that well

It's possible there is a cultural context to terms like 'irrationality' ...
