I've never understood why authors always give elusive answers to questions like this, regarding major plot events. What I call the Aes Sedai effect. They don't want to answer the question as it will spoil their life's work, and yet for some bizarre reason they're incapable of just plain lying. I mean what will happen? In 10 years time we'll go! "Oh my god! He lied to us!
Which meant we didn't twig the ending, and thus enjoyed it immensely! BURN HIM!"
