JKR claims that she worded the prophecy VERY carefully.

Well, I'm still scratching my head over it. Specifically, "and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives..." Well, clearly, they both lived for several years while the other survived. And one did NOT die at the hand of the other; Morty kept offing himself until it took. All he needed was antlers, a squirrel, a hat, and "This time for sure!" before casting YAAK. 

So, can anybody here, who actually understands the prophecy, explain it to me?
