Yeah, but Palps was counting on the fact that one or two Jedis would choose to train Anakin. Qui-gon would have done so had he lived. All Palpatine needed was one Jedi knight to accept Anakin to divide the Jedi. And dividing groups of people from within is Palpatine's main strategy in everything he does.

Again, though: I don't like this idea a whole lot, either. I hate the concept of the fatherless origin for Anakin. It doesn't matter if Anakin's sire was Sith or the Angel Gabriel ... it sucks either way. But I think it makes sense that the Sith played a role in Anakin's creation. Lucas painted himself in a corner with this concept back in Phantom Menace, and I don't put it past him to have injected this idea of a possible Sith origin as a way of saving face ... without having to retread the "I am your father" business directly.
