So what? Applying to five thousand years before? And physically superior, big deal. If that mattered, Yoda'd be dead ages ago.
And pretty much everything the Sith knew were from the Legions of Lettow, aka, Xendor and the Kashi-Mer.
And Ragnos has character? Sorry, three cameos do not character make. And yeah, he was THE Dark Lord, Dathka Graush was, too.
The Dark Lord of the Dark Lords, the most powerful of the most powerful, the final decision for everything, even as a spirit. And obviously the Legions of Lettow were the first. UNfortunately this isn't Underworld nor blade, and the first of the Dark Jedi were only beginning to understand their power. The GAOTS was described as the pinnacle of Sith history, where the most powerful sith existed. And guess who was the most powerful of these? That's right.
Yeah, just TRY to back that 'they were just starting to understand their power.'
And where were the GAotS Sith described as the pinnacle of history besides the empire? Now I'm curious...since Palpatine ended up eradicating the Jedi order and conquering the galaxy and the New Sith Empire nearly did that.
And nope, nothing hinting that Ragnos power extended to the Dark Jedi of Corbos who had a century's experience, or to despots like Dathka and Adas

That is clearly the case when you belong to one of the first generations of Dark Side users. It's not so that knowledge falls out of the sky and casually hits you.

What does that have to do with anything ? Revan nearly conquered the Republic with military actions, yet Kreia still says the Ancients are above him. The Lords of the New Sith Empire did need their combined power to exterminate all life on Ruusan - the female (ancient) Sith that Thon confronted on Ambria managed to do that on her own (killing the entire life on Ambria with the exception of Thon himself).

They had one century of experience, yes. Ragnos ruled for over a century, was possibly several centuries old and had every knowledge the Dark Siders of the 100-year-darkness posessed and on top of that everything else they invented in the 20,000 or 2,000 years the Ancient Sith Empire did exists. And he's more powerful than anybody else who ruled over said Empire (since he was the most powerful of the most powerful). And if you want to include Adas here you'll have to acknowledge that the Sith as a group existed at least 24,000 years BBY since Ood Bnar in "Tales of the Jedi Companion" says he lived "two dozen millenia ago".
And if Dooku already fears a 900 year old Dark Side Yoda, do you really think that beings who lived and studied the Dark Side for 200, 300 or 600 years would be much less of a threat ? I don't think so...

How long did the Jedi have? They didn't discover the Dark Side and start fighting from day one, Xendor led the Legions of Lettow for quite some time, too. The Dark siders on Corbos abandoned themselves to darkness before the war, which lasted a century...hell, the New Sith Empire had a nice one thousand years to learn, and Bane's order had the knowledge prior.
How old was Ragnos when he defeated Simus? How young was he? For all we know, he was a callow, skilled youth with power the others didn't dream about, or he was a wise, experienced ruler...either way, we don't know much about Sith lifespans, and the Jedi on corbos were fighting for a century, how long had they been practicing the Dark Side? Also, where was it said Ragnos knew everything beforehand? And my point before was: How was the 'Golden Age' the 'pinnacle of the Sith', when Sith succeeding them achieved a lot more in dominating and defeat of their great enemies?
Where was it said Thon fought an ancient Sith on Ambria? It just says she was a female Sith lord and the date I'm getting is 4002 BBY. And actually it was Bane alone who deforested Ruusan...problem was, he was aiming for more and the other Sith pulled out, leaving him to finish the attack on his own.
And Adas is now suspected to be one of the Sith Kreia mentions in KOTOR. That's the theory going around now

LOL because your irrelevant misdirection has ANYTHING to do with this 1 on 1 fight... Way to go..

You brought it up in your insignificant novel.
The Golden Age, the pinnacle of the Sith empire, where the greatest warriors lived, great wealth, blah blah blah.... What the hell does it have to do with achievement? For one, the republic was unknown to them, and #2, Palpatine conquered the galaxy for himself. There was no SITH Empire for him to do it for, youre talking nonsense.
