It's less silly but it's still stupid.
It's like Dooku is saying, "Clearly our God like powers aren't going to settle this so lets smack each other with sticks".
It's the wrong way around.
He should say, "Clearly this won''t be settled by our skills with a lightsaber but with our knowledge of the Force".
Yoda is a Jedi Master, he doesn't need a lightsaber Dooku knows this and doesn't humiliate himself by waving a glow stick at him.
I would cut the saber action and just have Dooku throw the roof at him only to have Yoda deflect it with ease.
The dynamic should be the Knight and his squire get kicked in by the Count and then Yoda scares Dooku into a retreat by using the collapsing pillar as an escape plan.
I see what you're saying, and in that respect it might not be kept. However, I don't see it as such a serious problem in the film.
