Obviously Palpatine didn't learn all Plagueis had to teach him since he never achieved eternal life and learned transfer essence only later on. And once again, strong enough to defeat doesn't make him more powerful.
No, the only thing that's obvious is that Palpatine was [b]strong enough to defeat him, nothing more. I'll try and be more civil with you LS but it's kind of hard when I can poke holes in each one of your arguments without breaking so much as a sweat (as opposed to sweating while playing video games, naturally). [/B]
so in essence, this ceased to be 'that makes him stronger' when the point turned against you.
Palpatine is said to have surpassed his teacher. He never once thinks of Plagueis as a superior. Plagueis wasn't able to kill him straight up when Palpatine openly defied him, and Palpatine mastered all his knowledge and ended him.

I'm really going to have to speak to you and Nai about your recent belligerence. Punishments will be doled out in the form of high velocity spankings. 131

wutI think we'll stick to our age-old relationship: I handle the debates and win, you handle the ass-kissing and win by association with me. excellent

Only if you oppose me.

Hey, you're one of the guys who constantly defended me and my opinions, so...
^ If you really were objective, your claim would be counterintuitive to the above. Which is why one of us has been universally considered to be a skilled debater and the other is you. Don't be jealous, just remember your station. Beneath me. 131
By the way, I'm still waiting for the proof about my "forced concessions" or have you conceded that?

Neh
Eloquent.

If you were a skilled debater, then you know taking your side (hint: the unpopular side) many times is the epitome of objectivity. I win.
facepalm
Spoiler:
Objectivity has nothing to do with taking the unpopular side, DS. It's about assessing points of view on their merit and going with the one that is right. If I were losing the debates, an objective person wouldn't defend them.

No, I just haven't looked it up but i'm tempted to go the LS route and make something up.
It would certainly be more creative and entertaining than being dishonest or inept with the definitions of simple words. But not as creative as condemning your entire chosen profession, so.... feel free to besmirch the use of semantics again. uhuh
