OK, you seem to be better versed in the circumstances of this Prophecy (I admit I can't get my hands on when it's actually said - is it in the Council of Elrond or unfinished tales or what?)
But to add to my point of view, Mr Angmar himself is fairly sure of himself, but I suppose this could be misguided arrogance......
