-canon is "George"-absolute canon; the six Episodes and anything coming directly from George Lucas (including unpublished production notes from him or his production department that are never seen by the public). Elements coming directly from Lucas in the movie novelizations, reference books, and other sources are also G-canon, though anything created by the authors of those sources (it's possible that movie novelizations contradict the movies or other EU sources) is C-canon (see below)."

So the basic storyline of the ROTS novelization is true, but not every single detail.
Except George Lucas never said that Dooku tried his hardest now did he? It only said it in the novelization. The novelization wasn't written by George Lucas it was written by Stover. He didn't come to Lucas asking about every single detail. Lucas just gave him a rought draft of the script to go off of.
no...Grievous would not "wtf pwn" grievous. He takes so long to freakin attack.... And before the clones came, Grievous was still on the offense. Grievous would not be "wtf pwnd" and it would take at least 10 mins for Obi to finish him off, by which time Anakin would be dead. Then Dooku owns Obi-Wan. Either way the duo win. Dooku beats Anakin faster than Obi-Wan beats grievous. He just shoots lightening, and god knows Anakin doesn't like lightning....

Hell, if he wasn't so arrogant and if he was trying his hardest, he would have won pretty damn easily
Except the novelization states he was trying his hardest, or something. Either way, you're claiming it was his arrogance that lost him the fight, right? Tell me, is the Count a smart being? I'd definitely say so. Would he know when he's in danger? I'd say so. Would he hold back if he was in danger? I don't think many would, the Count being one of those many.
So, unless you're telling me the Count lost on purpose, or has no clue if he is in danger or if he's so arrogant he couldn't sense that he's in danger - then yeah whatever.
However, he doesn't seem to be that arrogant in his actions (words - yes), and they don't seem to "blind" his thought process - the example being his duel with Yoda.
In the fight with Anakin in ROTS, he was frikken talking half of the time. He was smiling and taunting Anakin too.
And yes... he is arrogant and over confident "I have become more powerful than blah blah blah even you!" -AOTC then he uses force lightning on Yoda.
Also, read my earlier posts about the novelization.
