IOW, the Turks were way better than the Byzantines, and just beat their asses, just as I said.

No, the eastern Romans defeated the Turks in lots of battles but the Turks could recover quicker while the Byzantines would lose one battle and ruined. We are seeing that now with the American military. Won every battle in Vietnam and Iraq but could not sustain those victories because the US military is just too expensive to operate at that level continuously.
