ROTS novel implies Palpatine's cunning skills>his power in the Dark Side

Well technically the text is arguing that Palpatine's cunning > the dark side itself.

The Palpatine wank is ironic.
Your retarded attempt at Sheev lowballing turning into more Sheev wank is indeed ironic. AP must be proud of the trend it started.

I think AP inadvertendly cursed all the anti-Sheev arguments to have the opposite effect to what was intended. Hence why every single Failkorion crusade is ultimately doomed to fail, no matter what, kinda like the character himself. The only reason we allow them is because Sheev benefits from the arguments they make for us.

AP might honestly be our greatest asset in modern times.

I am not saying this statement makes him less strong-er in the Force for god's sake. I am saying that this fragment implies that a lot of his hype as Sith MVP comes from his political power.
An assumption which requires that we make yet another assumption, the assumption that every single Sidious GOAT quote is referring as much to political power as to Force power. Which is an assumption that can't be made based on this quote alone. This is part of why I prioritize feats over quotes/accolades.

Yes, exactly, that's what I am saying. Palpatine's absolute accolades are a mix of Force strength, Force knowledge and political power.

But Palpatine also uses the dark side. This is just the novel's way of implying that Palpatine's 'absolute power' comes from his political abilities too.

Retarded attempt would be for me to say that the text states Palpatine is the most powerful Sith only because of his political abilities.
Never said that.

Stop calling people what they aren't.

Choose your words carefully, shmuck. I am no Valkorion wanker. And this text doesn't give your sperm giver any benefits.
