We aren't talking about how good Galadriel could wield a sword. We were talking about her power compared to Saruman's. I made the connection with the Balrogs to show why Galadriel could contend with Saruman. Since it takes an extremely powerful person to slay a balrog...
My post was in response to you bringing balrog confrontation into the power equation. This should not be done, because slaying a balrog is a one-on-one battle, a warrior's duel. This is not an accurate way to compare overall power (the sum of all one's skills and abilities). Therefore, this method should not be used as proof that Galadriel could somehow take on Saruman, person to person.

Just because someone is more powerful overall than Ecthelion or Glorfindel (balrog slayers) does not mean that they could take on a balrog. That was my entire point.

I don't feel any reason to respond to the rest of your sarcasm since you clearly have missed the point.
Hmm... I reread my post and I am unable to detect any sarcastic statements. Everything I say seems to be entirely accurate and in direct support of the point I was making. Do not be so eager to snipe, Boromir, especially in my direction. I don't like it. Stick to picking apart my suppositions.
