It does seem that it's an interesting example to use in this context, because it certainly seems that if two people argue over whether it refers to the Battle of Pelennor Fields, it seems that there's <i>some</i> kind of substance to the dispute -- evidence can be brought for and against, for instance, and a distinctions can be made between reference in this sense and (say) merely suggestive allusion to the Battle of Pelennor Fields in referring to something else (some real but unnamed Scottish battles, perhaps, since Plant seems to have been on a Scottish ballad kick at the time).Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698839146562734910noreply@blogger.com
