You forgot to mention that it was a telekinetic assualt being dished out by Darth Bane.
Lsu lacks in defensive aspects of the Force. Not my fault.

Another myth.
Brotherhood Sith degraded in competency and understanding of the dark arts on average because they stopped concentrating on Sith doctrine itself. When Bane realized this organizational decay, he plotted destruction of the Brotherhood because he understood that Brotherhood would flop and Sith should begin anew by staying true to their original ideals.
The only Brotherhood Sith whom I admire is Lord Kas'im; he had power, talent, and potential. But he too deviated from Sith doctrine unfortunately. Kaan was OK. The rest were jokes.
Sith doctrine is not about Brotherhood, it is about survival of the fittest and pursuit for greater power. This is why ancients have produced so many powerful and capable Sith in history. Bane realized this and focused on ancient knowledge and principles to hone his talents in the dark side and reform the Sith. Due to Bane's wisdom, powerful Sith re-emerged through his efforts, and the lineage led to legends such as Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious.

Of-course, Brotherhood Sith are not exactly mooks, but they did not concentrate much on honing their talents in the dark arts and accepted the principles of Brotherhood. Ironically, Brotherhood was also just a tactic used by Lord Kaan to control the Sith and maintain his supremacy. But he was making Sith holistically weak in this manner.
Now compare Kaan's actions to Emperor's. The latter established an Empire which promoted competition and competency without restrictions. This Empire produced many powerful Sith Lords as a consequence, and surpassed the ancients on all fronts.

Bane, by the end of POD, is already a lot more powerful than ROTS Sidious and a much better duelist to boot.

Yeah, his opinion is far beyond stupidity.
