I showed you proof based on what Tolkien wrote, yet you choose to ignore it.

read it, was interested by it, but it was explaining gandalf's fight with the balrog, and not the witch king. circumstantial evidence.
I actually like this point, and the point Mansun states about the balrog encounter. Gandalf decided not to fight the balrog there and then. it could be a case that he didn't want the other members of the fellowship dragged into the fight, (at least aragorn and boromir who stood by him), as they could well of got killed.
but your next point (and I
did miss this first time around, and is what I've been saying for the past god knows how long since this thread started) is, and I quite you:

allowed himself to be defeated by the Balrog, which, in turn, indicates that he had the latent power to defeat the Balrog decisively.

YES HE PROBABLY DID HAVE THE LATENT POWER TO DEFEAT THE BALROG AND THE WITCH KING BUT HE WAS FORBIDDEN TO USE THIS POWER!!!!!!!
Therefore he was not certain to beat the Witch King, and could also have been defeated, as mentioned in the Istari section of Unfinished Tales I've quoted above.
