Is this what JRRT is trying to say in that horrible travesty of a jumble of words called the Simarillion?

No, it's implied pretty heavily in TLoTR, and only directly acknowledged in his backstory notes.

And the Silmarillion is a horrible jumbling of editing, not words - for which Christopher Tolkien (and Guy Gavriel Kay, don't forget) get the blame! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Did the Silmarillion get changed/edited recently (within the last 15 years or so)? I have a copy from the 1970s and I didn't find it particularly jumbled. It's a hell of a book.
