The only real point they have is his age and how much he could have learned in that time.
The fact of the matter is however he wasn't all that much superior to Sidious who didn't learn for 900 years. And Yoda could not have had all the things that Revan had to learn from.
A good point from Nai is the speed thing, yeah Yoda could be a lot faster but once you see his fights you would know that he does very little with it and the Jedi can still block his attacks so he may be faster and it maybe hard to hit him but as long as he doesn't hit Revan who cares about that?
Most of it just keeps on going back to the age thing, and that doesn't help him against Sidious so there is no reason to assume it would help him against Revan who was studying a large part of his life.
And even though Darkstar in his posts heavily limits Revan his time for learning I just can't agree with that. Revan was legendaric, why would he only become a master at 28? Besides he was allowed in those archives long before that he constantly learned more from a lot of Masters. Zhar even admitted to teaching him to much to fast, knowledge that Revan should not have known at that time. Also according to Kreia Revan learned a lot from her and then learned from a lot of other masters but when they had nothing else to teach him he left them again and came back to her.
This doesn't really mean he literally learned everything, but pretty much everything he needed.
Reading threw it again, i've also seen an entire argument about Battle pre-cog thrown away by saying people can be killed.. A waste because it does help Revan a lot. Other arguments there are good, but just not good enough IMO. Nothing that really makes me think Yoda has an edge in anything except for Speed on Revan.
