   Very interesting.  I have a couple of comments.   
      
   "Cubic Zirconium" should be "Cubic Zirconia" (zirconium oxide).   
      
   You suggest that Faramir couldn't be corrupted by Rings, but I don't see   
   any reason to believe that.  He held out for a day, but Boromir held out   
   much longer than that and still succumbed.  And we have no idea what   
   would have happened if someone like him had been given a reused one of   
   the Seven (a possibility that had never occurred to me) by someone who   
   didn't appear to represent the forces of darkness and he didn't know any   
   practical or moral reason to refuse it.   
      
   And do you really want "Who could have beat Sauron...?" instead of "beaten"?
