 I believe I've found verification that Tolkien did not always spell everything out.
 Legolas was making a bid to lead the Fellowship, because young Aragorn, ranger, was insufficient to the task.
 ARAGORN: I doubt if you will find a path quicker than the one the Orcs chose.
 Tolkien could have spelled it out:
 ARAGORN: Here's a path and you know how sour grapes are.
