"The most powerful Jedi of his generation. Perhaps of any generation. The fastest. The strongest. An unbeatable pilot. An unstoppable warrior.On the ground, in the air or sea or space, there is no one even close. He has not just power, not just skill, but dash: that rare, invaluable combination of boldness and grace. He is the best there is at what he does. The best there has ever been. And he knows it."

"The level is not necessarily an indication of the performer's talent, but it takes a truly gifted and physically skilled actor to play a powerful Jedi combatant. 'Hayden Christensen is one of the best there is,' says Gillard. 'I've seen hundreds of sword fighters, people who do it for a living, and he leaves them all in his wake. His style has changed a bit since Episode II, when he was only a level seven. On this he's a level nine.' For the curious, Gillard does not reveal any Jedi who has achieved level ten. The highest is nine, occupied by a small number of capable sword masters, including Yoda and Darth Sidious. At so high a ranking, it comes down to individual fighting styles as well as the circumstances of the surroundings that make a difference."
😬
"Anakin's style has changed completely between Episode II and Episode III. He now no longer cares. He knows he's unbeatable. He's far more dangerous than anybody in the universe."

Ant. I don't give a shit about quotes. I give a shit about logic and logically given how far above masters on Obi Wan's level like Agen, Fisto and Saesee Sidious no emotional hindrances would stop Anakin from destroying Kenobi if he was close to Palpatine's level. Stop being an idiot.
Ant's completely in the right, here. The entirety of Syn's argument can essentially be broken down into-
"I don't like the implications of the information Ant's provided, so I'm going to dismiss it groundlessly in favor of my preconceived notions."
-which is a case that does not warrant a counter. Flimsy rebuttals may be indicative of a stubborn or unskilled debater. Denial of evidence is indicative of a dishonest debater who can't be reasoned with.
Where Ant fails here is that he's allowed Syn to distract from that with ridicule. This is one of those times where the phrase, "Concession Accepted" is the proper response.
