Schaef-
Cannot be prevented is a counter to the prevent special ability.  If you take the definition so literally as to mean that absolutely no ability can ever cause that effect not to happen, you break the game; a CBP card could not be interrupted-plus-anything'd.

can you explain this statement to me? I am misreading it I think.

I mean that if you interrupt the ability and discarded the card, you would be indirectly preventing its effect; discarding the card before the effect would stop it from happening, a pseudo-"prevent" of sorts.

Clearly that is not the idea behind cannot-be-prevented.  Prevent stops a special ability and cannot-be-prevented stops the prevent ability.  Not just anything that might stop its effect, e.g. ending the battle.
