Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the wargs of fandom!: CT repudiated The Silmarillion

» Wraithbane - CT repudiated The Silmarillion

Another great essay, but one line in particular intrigues me:

…then why the heck are you people reading (and enjoying) The Silmarillion? It doesn't matter who composed the published The Silmarillion. Christopher Tolkien himself has repudiated the authority of the book.

I've read quite a bit about how TS cannot be considered a truly canonical text concerning ME, but what is CT's current thinking about the the relationship of TS and the body of work published in his father's lifetime? Maybe someone can point me to where this issue is more fully fleshed out.

Thanks.
