I reckon an idea may come to you when you least expect it, as is sometimes the way of such things. =)

And reality can be a dangerous concept; it seems to me it might be even more so for Valar.

Ah yes, that's one of my typical notions of Melkor v. Rest-of-the-Valar--neither side really has the humility to take the other seriously.
This isn't really about the Children for him, it's about Melkor and Manwë.
Good point! I'd not gotten so far as analysing his motive for that particular speech myself, but I do believe, although he has some philosophical grounds for wanting 'balance,' you're right that his grudge with Manwë concerns him more.
