The fact that "ah! but then glorfindel wouldnt have prophecised it!" has no point.
How can Glorfindel's prophecy not be relevant? He had foreseen that the Witch King would die under particular circumstances, and so the Witch King was always going to die in those circumstances.

I can do no better than refer you back to this refreshingly simple statement by the phantom:

The prophesy didn't mean a man couldn't kill the Witch King, it simply meant that a man wouldn't kill the Witch King.
