Well that'll always be a mystery I guess as you say....
But as prophets rely on seeing the future, they could only see the outcome as it actually happened....
Granted though, they weren't too specific were they...?
But then again, From a film making POV, GL would have screwed himself and the audience if in TPM he suddenly allowed Mace and Ki-Adi-Mundi and co. to spill out the entire plot of what happens with Anakin/The emporer/The Jedi/The clone wars/Padme/Luke and Leia etc during eps 2-6 while detailing the full extent of any really detailed prophecy I guess..
