Seems to me that the end of the article is a wild suggestion that, if this were real, that the elves and humans and such had made up a lot of stuff abut sauron to make themselves sound better in the history. Considering how people fighting a war will tell about how superior they are to the "complete evil" they were fighting, the Sauron chenge makes sense as an idea.
I have heard about how the time period and some personality bits effected the story. It still seems useful, though, to see how the story relates to other myths and such to see what ideas went into both of them.
