It's obviously bullshit if you think its word is Gospel. 😬 It doesn't reflect absolute law that this women has the absolute largest breasts or this man is the absolute tallest ever known. It merely reports the known data presented to them (if they can't personally confirm the feat, they don't count it, thus further making your sarcastic point retarded), and even that can be flawed at times (e.g. http://www.cricketcountry.com/news/guinness-book-of-world-records-makes-error-in-record-for-most-sixes-198126).

Not the point. I was saying that a source making a superlative statement doesn't need to explicitly mention every individual data point that spans the domain that the superlative reigns over in order to make that extrapolation.
Like when these sources say that Sidious is the most powerful sith lord of all time, it doesn't matter that they don't mention Vitiate by name. Ditto, quite frankly, for this Bane one.

A lack of mention across over a hundred issues suggests a lack of recognition of Vitiate altogether, hence the argument.
Some of those sourcebooks don't mention any of the ancient sith at all, lol. That doesn't change the fact that the narrators are clearly making a statement about Sidious's status over the course of galactic history. That they don't mention all the millions of potential competitors doesn't matter because they explicitly blanket mention them all with the phrase "of all time".

Sourcebooks generally focus on a set era of time (e.g. the Dark Empire or KotOR sourcebooks).
The Fact Files encompass all of history besides specifically the events of SWTOR and related works.
Coincidence? I think not. 😉

They generally focus on a specific era, yes, but they clearly are not talking about a specific era when they use the phrasing "of all time", "who ever lived", etc.

People don't demand Vitiate to be quoted specifically within Darth Bane's section, but merely a mention of at least some event even remotely relating to SWTOR to signify he's apart of the head count.
