with that said...
I think my point about a (possible) Jedi Prophecy vs. a Sith Prophecy still stands. While Sidious is aware of the the Jedi prophecy, he is working to fullfill the Sith one. Also, i think its apparent that Anakin does end up fullfuilling the Jedi prophecy just not as smoothly as the Jedi thought.
second, im not sure on what you mean by the LOE explanation. However, why does Dooku have to be the one who discovered the Clone army (is this the LOE explanation, and did i miss this post?). Also, while it does make sense for Dooku to kill and impersonate Sifo. Doesnt it make more sense that Palpatine (as Sidious) manipulated Dooku, told him of the clone army, used him to further his plans. we've already established that Palpatine manipulates anyone and everyone if it will further his goals. Plus, Dooku was suprised at the speed that the Jedi/Republic came up with an army at the end of AOTC, which implies he had no knowledge of the Clone Army.
Plagueous' age: umm, how does it not happen if its not in the movie. especially since it is in the movie because Palpatine tells the story of it.
Kam, Obi-Wan never said he first met Anakin as an adult or during the clone wars. He said (from the script of ANH i foun online, draft 4)

I understand you've become quite a good pilot yourself. And he was a
good friend. Which reminds me...

When I first knew him, your father was
already a great pilot. But I was amazed how
strongly the Force was with him. I took it
upon myself to train him as a Jedi. I
thought that I could instruct him just as
well as Yoda. I was wrong. My pride has
had terrible consequences for the galaxy.
unless i missed something Obi-Wan never said how old Anakin was when they met, or that they met during the war. Just that he was a good pilot/warrior (which i guess you could infer means it was during the war, but isnt necessarily the case)
some people speak of the OT as though it was flawless and didnt contain any contridictions or plot holes until the PT came around which im sure isnt true. The whole father/son brother/sister thing as it stands in the OT can be considered somewhat shaky if you think about it.
