Which is debunked by the fact that Kun being the "darkest power in the galaxy" is actually a much older quote than Malak on the SF being > him. It's been retconned.

Myth clearly on something LSDMB gave him. Kun being more powerful than Vitiate, prior to considerable and faster power growth via the dark holocron, completely shits all over the idea that Malak was ever even close to surpassing Kun. A weakened version of an inferior incarnation of the Revan who Vitiate-who at the most generous/conservative estimate may have caught up with Exar Kun in his prime-, one-shotted in an actual raw power exchange, could still defeat him after being given all of the advantages he could've wanted.

When you consider the general rule of growth/plateaus, it doesn't make much sense that having spent a thousand years undercover after the nathema ritual, Vitatiate goes from being weaker than Kun to much much stronger in the last hundred. And all this has to magically align itself because of a single quote claiming SF is far more powerful than either Kun or Nadd.
More to the fact, I bet you if someone asked Leeland Chee on twitter if that blog quote could be considered subjective, he would say that it was.

I don't think Kun's quote applies to Vitiate. Vitiate didn't exist when that line was written.

And yet, the Sheev brigade never uses this kind of thinking when it comes about their precious OT characters.

It has nothing to do with him being a concealed threat, and everything to do with him being created after the quote was published. Just like the quote that claims Darth Sidious was a more powerful dark side expression than Abeloth.
