No it would mean that the manner in which the demonstration taught the lesson was somewhat deceptive. It would still of course have had its purpose - teaching the padawans a very valid lesson; that Force mastery can often times be a far greater weapon than combat technique. That the message was an exaggerated one doesn't mean that it was worthless.
B. How did this make sense in even your brain? Yoda is walking forward, they're attacking him and he's dodging them as he goes.
Clearly the point flew way over you head. It's pretty simple, Yoda senses exactly where they are going to attack, dodges with a "slow and measured" tread at the last possible moment, and the other Jedi Masters are not able to adjust their attacks in time. More a point against the Jedi Masters than a point for Yoda; precognition is a basic Jedi ability, and if they possessed anything approaching average Jedi reflexes they should have been able to react to his "slow and steady tread" in time.
And of course, the fact still remains that this was hardly a feat of speed, and your original claim was that Yoda was capable of moving completely beyond what Jedi like Depa Billaba were capable of following. As I said, proven liar.
So, anyways, now that that's sorted, are you in any way able to substantiate the assertion that Yoda's the faster of the two of them? Get to that or accept that you're not capable of doing so.

Spoiler:
Stop crying.
And again, because you ignored it the last time: if Yoda, who appears to have specialised in telekinesis, struggles with relatively basic applications of the power throughout the movies (highest form of canon) how is he supposed to compete with someone who possesses at the very least a planetary command of the Force?

Please tell me this isn't a reference to theforcedotnet. I doubt even you would use an unofficial fan site as a source.

That was a dumb arguement.
You say Yoda struggles with basic applications of power throughout the highest form of canon. In that case Bane has shown absolutely nothing in the highest form of canon.
Banes showings in c-canon are no more canon than Yoda's showings in c-canon. So if you want to go strictly g-canon, then Bane is an unknown.
