One can decisively defeat an opponent like Lord Nyax with esoteric techniques, if not with Telekinesis.
Why is it an embarrassment? Scratch that, the fact that Nyax can embarrass Luke is much better than anything Valkorion can do. I certainly felt a difference because, well, I actually have comprehension skills. Luke operated more on power and skill and Jade operated more on her cunning.
I don't care what your reserve logic, based on an arbitrary hierarchy, says. The fact is what Nyax did to Luke and a strike team consisting of 25 elite Vong, Mara Jade and Tahiri Veila is well beyond what Valkorion could do in a similar situation.
He's referring to Luke's performance being embarrassing... But by that same line of thought, Ahsoka can beat Maul because he performed embarrassingly against Sidious...
I think that's just a matter of how good the opponent you face is, if you're going to be embarrassed; not how bad you yourself are. Nyax is good enough to humiliate early-NJO Luke, which is a lot better than Valkorion.
