Sure, but from your own powerscaling the difference in raw power should be pretty massive, and I don't think the gap in technical skill is large enough to overcome that, especially as Plagueis was an incredibly skilled duelist himself (if not as enthusiastic about it).

From my scaling the power gap between Tenebrous and Plagueis is tiny.
It's interesting to see people place Plagueis on these lists. His lightsaber feats aren't special at all, he didn't give a shit about combat and therefore would've had no motivation to practice or master any of the forms. The little time he did have when he wasn't being Hego Damask was spent training Palpatine, and he later dedicated most of his effort to studying and experimenting with midichlorians.
It doesn't make sense.
It shows actual skill means nothing.

So, Darth Plagueis is a mutated evil version of dr. Rick?

How so? I seem to recall Plagueis unbalancing the Force *before* boosting his own midichlorian count.
When did Plagueis unbalance the Force in the novel? I thought it was explained that it was the Force's will all along. He even poses this question after their ritual is over.
And when did he boost his own midi-chlorian count? I thought Plagueis was of the idea that more midi-chlorians, doesn't=more Force power.
Maybe that's what he did to Shmi. He boosted her with midi-chlorian semen.
