He got both his hands chopped off and Sheev then revealed his betrayal, essentially leaving him unarmed and broken facing the two strongest force users in the galaxy. You compare this to getting a man into your wife's bed and pretend there is some degree to accuracy to it.By your absurd amount of reaching you could apply the term to Snoke as much 👆
No, Snoke actively imposed his willpower on others Dooku was truly subservient to Sidious even right before a death he saw coming. Try to understand the term and how it is applied. You Frenchmen could not survive in the greatest nation on the planet with your naïveté.
"Many years later, Obi-Wan and Darth Vader duel a second time. The Sith Lord is now more experienced and powerful."
"VADER COMPLETED HIS MEDITATION and opened his eyes. His pale, flame-savaged face stared back at him from out of the reflective black surface of his pressurized meditation chamber. Without the neural connection to his armor, he was conscious of the stumps of his legs, the ruin of his arm, the perpetual pain in his flesh. He welcomed it. Pain fed his hate, and hate fed his strength. Once, as a Jedi, he had meditated to find peace. Now he meditated to sharpen the edges of his anger.
He stared at his reflection a long time. His injuries had deformed his body, left it a ruin, but they’d perfected his spirit, strengthening his connection to the Force. Suffering had birthed insight."
“This is a fight you cannot win, Darth. Your power has matured since I taught you, but I too have grown much since our parting. If my blade finds its mark, you will cease to exist. But if you cut me down, I will only become more powerful. Heed my words.”
I'm not saying I agree that Vader>Anakin, I'm still undecided on the matter. But these quotes seem pretty indisputable (especially the first one) so I'm curious as to how Ant "methodically destroyed" them.
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the second quote is from Lords of the Sith, a canon novel.
As for the third quote, not only is it Ben's view, it says Vader's power "matured", which doesn't immediately translate to "oh, he clearly grew more powerful".
The first quote is the only one from the three I could consider legit, but then again, it's referring to Mustafar Vader. It boils down to whether you believe Mustafar Vader was or wasn't hindered, which opens a whole new can of worms.
I would really appreciate it if someone could actually post all the quotes that state or at least suggest Vader > Anakin. Apart from these ones, I am only familiar with two that likely don't even refer to KF Vader.

More than half the quotes do not refer to exclusively to Mustafar Vader, but him as a whole not to mention the fact that Mustafar Vader wasn't weakened.

So blurting out that Sheev is a Sith would work how exactly?
Anakin had no reason to believe his enemy right there and it'd have seen like a cowardly and desperate tactic. Dooku was unaware of how close Anakin was getting to the dark side and could've reasonably expected him to take him alive. Basically you want Dooku to become a coward that betrays his convictions on destroying the jedi order in a lame moment of desperation. Ultimately even in Death Dooku's goal ended up being fulfilled.
Snoke in the other hand thought he was so hot he wouldn't be betrayed. He never figured out he was outplayed which makes him seem naive.

By weaknesses it's referring to overconfidence on Anakin's part which was a weakness.
Nope it stated said weakness. Being “overwhelmed” by rage. OT Vader has more control over his rage and wasn't “overwhelmed” by it. Hence OT Vader is likely > Mustafa Vader, which seems to be what the quote you posted is stating.

The point was not whether he would believe him the point is to defend his life. He allowed his death to happen with no will to object.
Dooku did not want to die. He was betrayed and did not even offer any resistance with any of the intel he had. Would not be hard to convince Anakin through his knowledge to question Sidious. But he cucked which is a choice to allow someone to cheat. You not grasping cuckolding is a choice kind of says a lot about your cognitive acumen tbh.
Snoke was overconfident which I have always said but he never chose to allow it. Dooku did not object and was blatantly betrayed and just took it. Cucked to the bitter end.
