Yeah, like the old B.C.-level joke about the "man-eating" dinosaur ignoring the Fat Broad because "it's not a woman-eating dinosaur" (that also happened to look like a "brontosaur".)
It was jokes like that which ushered in the change in common name of H. sapiens from "Man" to its former adjective, "human".
I pray, in 40 years from now when everything is shit, a new visionary of the intellect of Tolkien can rise from the ashes. He single handedly reinvented the way fiction and fantasy worked and hammered away at the drudge of language.
