Alduin is not actually a god. He's just a really big, really strong lizard.

Because a book that is a scholarly article in the context of the game ISN'T ACTUALLY RIGHT, BECAUSE A COMPLETELY UNRELATED BOOK WRITTEN BY A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON FOR A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REASON is the same thing, right?

Gelebor is the only remaining Snow Elf (aside from his brother, but who the hell cares about him). He watched his race slowly become twisted and die. I'm pretty sure he knows whereof he speaketh.

If the devs were intentionally trying to mislead us, they would have added a scrap of evidence to contradict the idea that the Falmer are blind. They use bows, because they are an enemy type frequently found in open spaces. That's a game mechanics reason. Not a lore reason. Keep them separate.
