First, I removed spoiler tags on things that no reasonable person would consider spoilers. High Lagaard having a cold climate is not a spoiler. Armoroad being revealed as being in the \\\"south\\\" relative to Midgard happens before you even gain control of your character. That sort of thing.
Second, deleted extremely specious theories of \\\'\\\'Untold\\\'\\\' locations being in America. As the paragraph explaining the \\\"\\\'\\\'Millennium Girl\\\'\\\' sets Etria in the northeastern US\\\" theory even \\\'\\\'admitted\\\'\\\', the game literally tells you \\\'\\\'exactly\\\'\\\' where Etria is, and the reasons given for doubting this mostly boiled down to \\\"nobody would ever end up living on a different continent than where they were born, except the Highlander, who\\\'s much more likely to have crossed an ocean than a landmass.\\\" (Particularly bad arguments in this regard are [[spoiler:Ricky and M.I.K.E., who are from the pre-apocalyptic past when airplanes existed]].) The argument for Midgard being in America has similar issues, and while it doesn\\\'t \\\'\\\'directly\\\'\\\' contradict anything, the idea that someone living in North America would hear \\\"let\\\'s travel south\\\" and think \\\"ah, yes, to the Mediterranean or Indonesia\\\" seems absurd.

They\'re that much of a threat because Sith don\'t believe in self-restraint. They believe in \"gain power, use power\" As such, they are much more powerful, one on one, than most Jedi. They\'re going to carve up a bunch of knights and padawans until they hit a Master who can match them. In the prequels, in \'\'Clone Wars\", in \'\'Rebels\'\' we\'ve seen this. They are what happens when you give structure and purpose to The Dark Side.
Hell, one particularly patient and powerful Sith Lord \'\'took over the galaxy\'\' and all but wiped out the Jedi.
It\'s not a matter of numbers and never was. This isn\'t a matter of generating more questions than answers, this is countering every answer with \"yeah, but...\" That, as you said, is FanWank, not this trope.
