       I believe the Elves held this knowledge as a sacred trust and were   
   loathe to discuss it at will with any other people of   
   middleearth.Fearing that any posessor of this knowledge would be   
   subjeect to revealing the info out of mistake,torture,treachery, or any   
   other number of reasons.In other words the less who knew the better for   
   all concerned.These are just my thoughts and are of course not 100%   
   accurate.
