Oh, I would definitely trust Gandalf as well, but he is not the one claiming that the Witchking cannot be killed by a man, rather he is restating what some other anonymous people have said

As far as the staffs are concerned, I also saw them as being a large part of the wizards power in the movies. Thus, of course, I did not like the fact that Gandalf's was broken.
