User blog comment:Gott wisst/Hypothesis about why B. J. is wrong about J. R. R. Tolkien/@comment-1209332-20090423214534

CSL's stories weren't supposed to be original. They were allegories of the Catholic religion. I didn't say Tolkein's storyline wasn't original, the setting just isn't, but I'm okay with that. I just think that BJ was justified (kind of) in saying that. Maybe plunder is too strong of a word, but we can give credit to BJ for making up his own setting!
