For starters, it's nice to know that someone is actually reading "The Year's Work in Tolkien Studies". As for the specific point, I definitely have one of those "less mighty" brains, since I knew immediately what your "probably mistaken" referred to. I also happen to believe that Shippey was right that Denethor saw Frodo imprisoned in the Tower of Cirith Ungol.
Ironically, given Shippey's attempt to divinate my meaning, I actually have no opinion on the latter question, not caring to delve enough into the details to develop one.
