This analogy doesn't work because the Sith of the Sith Empire and the Sith of TOR are both interstellar civilizations with FTL travel and advanced energy weapons.
The analogy is completely valid. The level is different but the variation is the same.
Going off the current EU timeline, almost three thousand years passed between the end of the Hundred-Year Darkness and the Great Hyperspace War. In all that time, there was no significant change in regards to Sith technology or aesthetics. Yet I'm supposed to believe that only a thousand years, give-or-take, after the Great Hyperspace War, every single aspect about their culture undergoes a radical overhaul, turning them from sword-and-sorcery type magicians and warriors into ultra high-tech space age marauders.
I'm not buying it.

I'm basing my "assumption" that Palpatine's appearance was the result of dark side corruption on Dark Empire, which overtly established that Palpatine's appearance was the result of dark side corruption.
Dark Empire is just another EU source... and a very bad one imo. That is no better than basing stuff on PT.
We're already discussing EU matters, so Dark Empire -- however bad you may think it is -- is as valid a source as any in regards to a discussion on EU matters.

Making Anakin a snivelling whiny unlikeable jerk tarnishes and undermines the character as he was in the OT. Making the original Sith a race doesn't tarnish or undermine the non-biological Sith.
Opinion.
Yeah, it's an opinion. How about you provide an argument showing how it's at all wrong or inaccurate?

Sith who aren't sociopathic social Darwinist assholes.
Sith has been that since OT... Vader chocking imperial failures, Emperor replacing Vader with a younger guy.
And all Jedi wear brown desert hermit robes, have funny speech patterns, and make their apprentices give them piggy-back rides.
