I could imagine both the smelting and metalworking of Noldoron were better in a sense that they lost some of the knowledge and skill to create pure smelts, quench the smelt effectively and/or work the metal in such a way that it was inherently stronger by avoiding/removing imperfections, for instance through repetitive heating-folding-quenching-hammering ... like the Samurai smiths could. Well this mod isnt a complete miror of reality and neither are the books Why do I see so many people using this argument to imply a justification of irreality? Since so many things in Tolkien's universe are based off real life, it would be an extention of his intentions to base non-canon materiel off it, too. What foundation other than reality do we have to create things from, to stop us thinking up giant pink pandas as plausible sea-life? Even the thought of giant pink pandas is based off real concepts. Star Wars isn't a complete mirror of reality by far either, but real science is often pulled in.
