Again, this is a guy that Avellone claims is up there with ancient Sith, who create galaxies, and that Darth Revan is more powerful than Nihilus given his other statements. Meetra can temporarily block the connection of a planet killing Sith Lord. Clearly she can wreck Vader in the Force too.
There are so many things wrong with that, I'd need to write a CV blog to explain them all.

Nope, because he also stated that Vader was > the ancient Sith. 🙂
He refers to empires of Sith who can shape galaxies and worlds, he says Nihilus isn't as powerful as them in another quote and that Darth Revan is better or equal to any of them.
The Exile being even capable of having such a profound, if temporary, effect on any thing of that tier makes her planetary tier.
Why am I the only one seeing how massively contradictory to the rest of lore that is?
That isn't even the only problem with what Avellone said.
On a side note, I find it strange that Avellone thinks Revan would still win after being deafened. I mean, the stupidity of a non-Force sensitive Revan beating Surik in combat aside, KotOR II was about the Exile being the only character who could live completely without the Force, something that not even Revan managed (the whole point of Traya considering the Exile to be her greatest disciple).
Seems like quoting authors on sources they wrote years ago isn't very reliable.
He says something to the effect of "even then, that wouldn't keep Revan down forever" or something. The implication there is that Revan gets deafened but somehow recovers and goes on to win the duel. The fact that Surik can't beat Revan during that brief period of non-Force sensitivity is pretty laughable.
Also, his quote about Revan trumping Surik and Traya at once seems a bit iffy as well. He doesn't so much cite Revan's prowess in combat as Traya and Surik's character-based deficiencies (Kreia's "stuck in the past" and Surik "has her own troubles", both of which sound like character weaknesses as opposed to power disparities between them and Revan). It's almost as if he's saying that they don't want to fight him as opposed to anything else.
Desperate? You email every author and stunt coordinator you can, lmfao.
I don't need to be desperate, because Avellone's opinion can be taken with a grain of salt, just as Karpyshyn's can. You know what's desperate? Dismissing one author's quote in favor of another solely because it supports your point, lmfao.
