Addressing stupidity - potential vs applicable power
A common rebuttal to the dozen-or-so quotes that declare Anakin Skywalker as the most powerful Jedi in history is simply dismissing it as referring to his potential - despite the quote having no indication of such other than using the word "power." With such standards, the Anakin Deniers have established a system where any conceivable quote, no matter who it is from, regarding his power, is to be dismissed instantly for reasons that don't even hold up under scrutiny. For example, if one was to find a quote stating Revan as of the Mandalorian Wars is the most powerful Jedi the galaxy has ever seen (up to that point), few would argue that it's referring to his potential. It's clear it's referring to his combat applicable power. In another example, if there were any quotes declaring Palpatine as of TPM as the most powerful Sith in history, few would argue that it's referring to his potential power that would have come full form later in his career. The quote would be clearly referring to, once again, the power he had at his disposal. The hypocrisy of only having the "potential" standard in regards to "the most powerful" quotes for Anakin Skywalker and no other individuals is blatantly obvious and, while not particularly surprising for Beni to employ given his track-record, a complete embarrassment for anyone else who subscribes to it.
Checkout the following quote:

I guess you two have actual interpretations that don't ignore context. That'd be the only reason to talk shit. Otherwise, it's just your opinion, which means dick.

Oh I'm sorry I don't think Anakin is Sidious level or omnipotent!
I'm such a filthy heretic!
