OK, I guess we can bicker over whether "greatest" means "most powerful", and whether "produced" means "used my Empire's teachings" or "was caused by my Empire" (which Darth Revan was).
BTW Darth Revan did copy a lot of his rituals from Vitiate, or at least that's what you claim.
But I don't really care, since it's a zero sum game for me which one to lowball.
No, he wasn't. Revan's philosophy and learning of the Sith came from the ancient teachings of Malachor V, which predates Vitiate's empire by many centuries.
This is why Vitiate, in an unprecedented act, christened Revan a Darth without first introducing Revan to his empire's teachings or the caste system.
Every other Sith, including Darth Malgus and Darth Nox, started off as an acolyte, and then a lord, etc. Revan instantly became the Empire's "vanguard".
This is clearly because Revan's Sith nature was already established. Also, Revan would then betray Vitiate the moment he left the world anyway.
Not only that, but the entire Jedi Civil Wars was then Revan trying to unify the galaxy in effort to then face Vitiate's empire's impending invasion.
So of course Vitiate wouldn't consider Darth Revan the greatest Sith his empire ever produced. He didn't produce Revan, and Revan betrayed him.
Not only that, but as you pointed out, Revan even then turned back to the light side, destroyed the Star Forge, and then pushed Vitiate's plans centuries back.
And, no. Darth Revan based the thought bomb off of Vitiate's ritual on Nathema. He didn't copy anything, and that was the only known correlation.
