Is the Rule of Two actually logical?

No, it's dumb just like the entire social-darwinist cult that the Sith are.

Yes. The succession of Sith Lords is a bridge to the Ubermensch. Each Sith Master dies at precisely the time most favorable to his goal and his heir. It's extremely Nietzsche approved.

Basically this, but it's good for keeping them under the radar and mysterious and insidious. It's hard as hell to uproot two people compared to evil sociopath training academies. Other than this, it's retarded as hell. I don't understand how you could live with somebody without going literally crazy with paranoia since one of you have to die by the other hand sooner or later.
