I suspect that our philosophical differences come back to a couple of things:

(1) For me, FFC Blackmoor is "the real Blackmoor" and I think that much of the detail that you enjoy was released in the later products, which I own but aren't the focus of my campaigns.

(2) My brain doesn't like to memorize details, so I tend to forget them. In the real world, I give my physics students a formula sheet because I don't stress memorization. When you list off all of the varieties of elves, my initial thought is "Huh? Forgot that they even existed" and then "well, they're all elves." Most of my campaigns are run the same way -- a few stereotypes and not so much background history. Reading Barker's Tekumel stuff makes my brain melt because the names are so bizarre and I can't retain any of them.

Anyway, that also explains why I don't have as much to contribute in certain sections of these boards. My games don't tend to have those elements, so I don't have much to say about them.

I appreciate your scholarship about all things Blackmoor, however. 8)
