I haven't seen one good refutation to Bane's feat and the subsequent scaling yet. Tenebrous' master could be worth 100 Darth Bane's if we use the orbalisks as a multiplier and then add on like 700 years worth of progressively stronger Sith. That's a lot of destroyed temples.

TM scales well above a dude who can create citadel spanning tk barriers and the apprentice that could beat the aforementioned dude without a lightsaber.
This whole 'I am more powerful than you' Banite thing is ludicrous, to be frank. There is no guarantee that the Apprentice grew stronger in Force than the Master(or if the Apprentices really were) or if they became more knowledgeable.
We don't even know what happened to Cognus and Millennial. There is no confirmation she had another apprentice besides Millennial.
You cannot quantify something that you don't know based on some out-of-context or vague 'sources'.
This whole thing is stupid. Rule of Two is stupid.

Because they are. Not to mention that SW is a universe full of unrestrained creativity. You have a source saying that Banite knowledge was passed; then you have a story with Gravid destroying most of that knowledge. Then you have some other sources that state that old Sith knowledge was lost by the time of TCW.
Then, you have the writer's guilty adommaic ignorance. Instead of being consistent with the lore(barely if these writers have any knowledge of SW lorebooks, e.g: Drew Karpyshyn.)
We act as if the writers are omniscient or omnipresent in the real sense of word.

What he said basically tantamounts to: "The whole Newton formulating and discovering the laws and sciences of gravity and advanced mechanics, integrated with calculus, is ludicrous and pointless. There is no guarantee that Newton did any of this, absolutely any of this at all.
Neither do the well documented records that prove that he did matter, nor do the theories themselves, which have revolutionized the world today, bejeweling our civilization today with continuous achievements throughout history.
The whole thing is stupid. All the theories, rules, and advancements are utterly stupid".
