Or rather....If a hobbit builds a hobbit hole and Tolkien wasn't around to see it, is it still OK to add it?

I believe that the answer is yes, and that even Tolkien, a genius at world-creation, couldn't have possibly detailed everything that happened in his world over its ages-long history, and that he leaves the rest up to us to imagine.
