Nine hundred years of wisdom, and the institutional blindness to show for it. He presides over the order's capture by the state, counsels detachment where understanding was needed, and loses everything โ€” then does his best teaching in a swamp with no institution at all. The strongest evidence that Jedi wisdom is real and that it compounds in exile, not in councils.

Yoda vs Obi-Wan: centuries of wisdom that still steered the Order into state capture, versus decades of unwitnessed fidelity after the Order is ash. Yoda's best teaching is exile teaching; Obi-Wan's best life is exile life. Narrowly, the vow kept without an institution outranks the wisdom that failed with one.
Qui-Gon vs Yoda: the living Force against the council that sidelined it. Yoda has depth Qui-Gon never lives long enough to show; Qui-Gon has the method every later correction quietly reprints. The road not taken outranks the road taken to ruin โ€” narrowly, because Yoda still becomes the swamp teacher the method needs.
Yoda vs Mace: exile wisdom against institutional peak. Mace is what the late Order is best at โ€” decisive, martial, sure. Yoda is what remains after that certainty destroys itself. The swamp outranks the council chamber.
