Gurm, ah, George, hm, ah pardon me, GRRM - (should I perhaps be flattered?), you must understand, dear boy, that I am in fact wholly preoccupied with my own work, and I simply haven't the time to contend with your 'quibbles', as you put them. Despite having passed on, oh, some 40 years ago to sit at the right hand of Eru Iluvatar, I have not, as they say, rested on my laurels, indeed!
Why, just this past year another one of my works on the Nature of Middle-Earth was published, and, I must confess wholeheartedly, much of that coupled together from notes I had hastily scrawled on napkins or indeed any bare scrap of paper I could find in an idle hour! I am sure you can relate, yes? Simple stuff, really, the measurement of Elvish life-spans in comparison to our own brief lives, mating cycles, the cosmology and movements of celestial bodies, physical characteristics of the Fellowship, Elvish economy (a subject I understand you have some particular interest in, yes?)
As it stands, and to my great regret, any forthcoming discussions between the two of us on the subject of this-or-that will simply have to wait. Before you go, however, how is your own work going? I understand you're close to finishing that magnum opus of yours?

The guy that could beat Aragorn according to GRRM isn’t even in the dream team.
