Finwe, you speak of the 'loophole'. I hardly think that, because Eowyn and Merry were not Men, the Witch King would be thinking "Drat! Caught out by a technicality!"

Glorfindel only uttered his prophecy because he had foreseen it. As things went, our chirpy little Elf was proved correct. However, its not due to it being Merry and Eowyn there that the Witch King died. It could have Aragorn, Eomer, Arwen or even Tom Bombadil as long as they had the Blade of Westernesse.
