Anyway, I said I wasn't going to argue further for a reason. The Bane trilogy has issues because of the lack of total detail in terms of feats; some of it has to be drawn from context and inference based on how things align with other parts of the Sith saga. There's really no point in having debates when one side continually resorts to, "if it's not literally spelled out, word for word, that this is the level of character X, then I refuse to admit that he/she is capable of this, that, or the other."
People lowball Bane then act like Caedus was the second coming of Palpatine. I'm done arguing it. No matter how many have presented rational arguments for Bane's ability there's a contingent that goes out of their way to pretend like there's no validity to any of it.
Yes, deceiving Zannah and avoiding her onslaught while unarmed shows great skill, period. And yes, having enough mastery of the Force to rediscover how to both assemble and bind the matrix of a holocron then infuse his spirit into it is noteworthy, not going to think otherwise no matter how much you want to scoff at it.
The biggest problem is this: almost all of what transpired is now part of Legends only, and it remains to be seen what if anything will be made of the Bane saga as canon material. The majority of what is could be wiped nearly in its entirety.

There are assumptions which are easier to take in than others. People will refuse to believe Bane is capable of X because he did X because he never achieves that sort of power later on. It's not anyone's fault. People go by the information presented, compare Bane to other characters and come back to reality.
Simply put, one side is to stubborn to concede Banes inferiority due to an unhealthy obsession with the character or otherwise, the other is adamant in their belief until there's irrefutable that Bane is as good as they say.

Not really, Banes position is at it's best tbh. People with ludicrous opinions withou ltl evidence will be dismissed.

No it doesn't. He knew he couldn't fight her in the current state he was in, so opted to manipulate her into thinking he was arm. It shows a resourceful side of Bane, not skill.

What a peculiar train of thought, naive, but peculiar. Still, you'll come to understand in time, if not then you'll remain in the mud with the other toads
It's not a bad feat, although the scene was pretty cringeworthy for Zannah. Not because she failed to kill Bane, but because Drew partially attributed it to her inability to produce an adequate offensive as a Form III specialist, which is beyond retarded when you're considering someone who is supposed to be an extremely skilled duelist.
