В черновиках к ВК Профессор действительно проводил разграничение между гоблинами и орками по размеру.
Одно из примечаний Кристофера Толкина: "At this stage it seems that ‘Orсs' are to be regarded as a more formidable kind of ‘Goblin’; so in the preliminary sketch for ‘The Mines of Moria’ (p. 443) Gandalf says ‘there are goblins - of very evil kind, larger than usual, real orcs.’" (HoME vol. VI, Chapt. XXIV, "The Ring goes South", примечание 35).
Но это в черновиках; вообще же Толкин неоднократно указывает, что слово "гоблин" - это перевод слова "орк": "...goblin is used as a translation in The Hobbit, where orc only occurs once, I think..." (Письмо 144 к Наоми Митчисон, 25.04.1954).

Think on Kortirion and be sad - yet is there not hope?» J.R.R. Tolkien
