I know that quote, it was TPM novel. Anyway, you have to prove, clearly, that it was Yoda. And if you want to argue that it was Yoda indeed, then we may argue, that he was talking about, lets say, Ataru practicioners. Which, may be ineed a truth TBH, since Jinn could be best Ataru practicioner that Yoda had train until TPM.

Also because Maul is heavily restricted by Sidious, as fodder material to the latter.
I mean, as much as I want Qui Gon and Maul as of TPM to be raised, such a notion isn't exactly credible.
I never said that. My asumption was, that perhaps Yoda though Jinn Ataru during thei sessions, as it was a form prefered by both of them. And it would be logical, otherwise either it wasn't Yoda who said that, quote is out-dated or retcoened. Anyway, it's a pointless discussion since many sources stated TPM Dooku to be superior to Jinn.
Kiadi Mundi is > Qui Gon Jinn. The idea that TPM Obi Wan had some parity means that Fisto is > Qui Gon. Shaak ti and Plo are also valid contenders, neither of whom have the glaring weakness of his all-attack no-defence fighting form (a reason for his loss against Maul). Dooku is the "finest student" Yoda ever had, strongest too, which puts him above jinn.
Trash accolades are trash accolades. The mere interpretation of the author writing said accolades at the time. Not the product of content aggregation groups pushing a unanimously agreed power chart. They are less objective than in universe statements the majority of the time.
