# I know ''why'' the Rule of Two was instituted, but even that explanation (the Sith would wipe themselves out if there were more than two of them) reinforces the point that the Sith are largely ineffectual, and that explanation still doesn't explain why the Jedi are so afraid of them. If anything, it just makes that fact even ''more'' questionable.
# Yes, I know that it took a lot to put them down before, but (so far as I know) it's never been explained ''why'' they were so hard to defeat when there were only two of them. That was my point: when there's a doctrine that prohibits the Sith's numbers from rising higher than ''two'', it's natural to ask questions about why they're considered such a threat to the Jedi, who vastly outnumber them. I'm not exactly sure why it's relevant to bring up Dooku, since he was ''one'' of those two (being Sidious' apprentice); even Ventress was always just portrayed as Dooku's lone disciple, so far as I know.
# Point taken, I'd be okay with deleting that little remark about why anyone would want to be a Sith. But it still reinforces my point about how the Sith are a credible threat to the Jedi, when [[WeAreStrugglingTogether in-fighting]] is explicitly written into their official doctrine. Even if Palpatine did go through multiple apprentices before Maul, he still only ever had one apprentice at a time.

I know that this is the sort of thing that invites FanWank, but my point still stands: when an \"explanation\" involves the fact that the bad guys aren\'t allowed to have more than two members, it raises plenty of perfectly natural questions about how they\'re able to be a credible threat to the good guys, who have no such restrictions.
