I was merely making the point that there was no need to change the scene the way PJ did. He could have left it alone and the movie would have been better for it. Following the books here would have been easy, where-as there were other places in the story I realize he could not have done so.<BR> But the fact that the witch-king was not affected by Frodo's blade is irrelevant to my point. I didn't say that the witch-king had to fall over dead once Frodo had struck. There are 1000 ways they could have had Frodo strike without including the Elbereth deal. We've already seen one of them.
