@papinacho: None of these are feats. Being a protagonist means what, exactly? Meetra Surik was the protagonist of K2, impressed Traya and so on, and in the Revan novel her feats were but mediocre. Scourge himself said he would be a match for her. Feats are all that matter. Overstretching position is irrelevant.
And no, the quotes were not from Palpatine's point of view - they was from a third-person-omniscient perspective, that is, the writer's perspective in which he knows everything. He is stating that he knows that Palpatine knows that Yoda had reached his limits. Palpatine being overconfident has nothing to do with realizing Yoda was at the limits of his strength, especially given Palpatine himself used up practically all his power. I can't see how you would think it was in Palpatine's perspective when Palpatine was explicitly described in third person (Lord of all Sith, the shadow, etc.).
And other sources such as the ROTS Junior Novelization suggest Palpatine wasn't entirely sure he could defeat Yoda. Dooku's speculation of Yoda turning to the Dark Side is irrelevant. Not only is it absolute conjecture (which is also practically the entire basis for your argument), but Dooku himself can be wrong. He isn't omniscient, unlike the writer.
Yoda not wanting to replicate destructive feats is irrelevant. He was fighting for the sake of the entire galaxy when he challenged Palpatine, he had to use all his strength (as was stated) and he could not defeat Palpatine. Yes, he was fully convicted, he simply lacked the means to overpower his opponent.
None of your posts regard feats at all. You can speculate a thousand things, but the Battles forum uses logic and evidence, not conjecture and speculation. Unless what you believe is explicitly proven, then that is not the case. You haven't mentioned feats at all, and the rules of the Battles forum that essentially makes your post mute. However, your post is at least logical and plausible, but nonetheless it is still conjecture.
