Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

So that's why he, and later aragorn, cede to his decisions. There is also a fair bit of magic/faith involved that they don't want to f with.
