The story says Gohan>Piccolo. Displayed on panel, btw. Those aren't assumptions. Please learn what assumptions are. An assumption is saying Piccolo was entirely wrong on Gohan. That's an opinion derived from an assumption. One which you can't prove.
No, you think it does. If Gohan put his mind to it, he's stronger, but he didn't. Oh well, at least we have the Daizenshuu to clear that up.
That's exactly what it says.
Prior to finding out their identity, Base Trunks was fighting her. Transforming into a Super Saiyan was how she saw through their costume. And we already know Trunks' held-back blast made #18 shit herself. Yes, the Super Saiyan kids are far stronger than #18. Not debatable.
Their equal until she finds out their identity, so lets walk you through this since you don't seem to get it.
On this page, their strength is still on par:
Only when she finds out their identity on the next page
is their strength no longer on par.
No the Super Saiyan Kids aren't stronger than #18, otherwise they would've been stated to be part of the top 10 strongest on earth.
Again, Ultimate Gohan has a very specific section in that same section that says he's above Gotenks. That's the only Gohan omitted. Every other Gohan isn't.
Doesn't matter according to your logic. Gohan=Gohan and the Daizenshuu apparently makes no distinction. So Gohan can't surpass Goten.
I don't care what you're interested in. Gohan and Goten sparred for the upcoming tournament and this is what's shown:
There's 0 indication that Gohan did better than Goten at any point. The above looks exactly equal, so saying Gohan surpassed him doing the same exact training is based on utter nothingness.
This is expanded on in the anime. After Gohan shakes off his rust, Goten can't touch him. In M10, Base Gohan is shown to be superior to the SSJ kids. Yes, they were equal at one point.
Yeah, it does. Gohan has no appearance as a Super Saiyan 2 beyond Vol.37. That means he wasn't recognized as a Super Saiyan 2 in any of the volumes afterwards.
It means that he wasn't mentioned to have used it. That's it. Prior to later Daizenshuus coming out there wasn't any proof that he was, but now there is.
If it matters it would've been shown. The story shows Gohan>Piccolo. Piccolo says it. It's shown who's the stronger of the two. Simple.
You think that was shown, it was stated otherwise. You can remain in denial if you want though.
According to the Manga:
Gohan telling Piccolo to escape because he doesn't want him to get killed.
Gohan "putting his mind to it" by knocking the shit out of Nappa. Piccolo's reaction alone tells us what's up.
Show one thing in the Manga proving Piccolo>Gohan. You can't.
Just means that Gohan cares about Piccolo. He wasn't giving orders as his superior. Gohan used some power, but didn't truly put his mind into it, otherwise he wouldn't only be able to use it momentarily. The owners of Dragon Ball already clarified the situation. Your points are moot based on that alone.
Btw, are Budokai Tenkaichi 3 bios canon?
Not seeing how this is a relevant question.
Manga already clarifies that Gohan was above Piccolo when he put his mind to it. Gohan put his mind to it above and it's reflected in the story. Prove otherwise.
The Daizenshuu lists Gohan's power lower than Piccolo's, hence he didn't. Easy.
There is no prior considering Black was getting zenkais from the very beginning. You're not making sense imposing this hypothetical comparison.
In the end, Black>Goku. If Super Saiyan Rose and Super Saiyan Blue Goku fight, Black wins because he's superior. The end.
Honestly, you were the same guy saying Krillin and Roshi>Goten and Trunks, even though Goku only cited their inexperience and recklessness as to why they wouldn't be good on the team. Their power wasn't an issue. Ignoring context seems to be your thing.
Black wins because he's basically a better version of Goku. Their power was stated to be a match, so when was it shown to be a match? After Black first unlocked Rose. Not seeing why it's so hard to put two and two together. Probably the bias.
Goten and Trunks are not part of the top 10 strongest people on earth as stated by Toei. Their inexperience and recklessness is irrelevant to their power. The only thing they possess is power and they wield it recklessly.
Everyone on the team is better balanced overall on top of being stronger because as stated, they are the 10 strongest people on earth. Not hard to understand at all. Don't know what the obsession with inflating Goten and Trunks to absurd levels is about.

The Daiz says Kami is weaker than King Piccolo, despite him finger-flicking a Goku stronger than Piccolo Daimao. Likewise, the Daiz has Popo many times stronger than Kami and even BOZ Goku/Piccolo even though Popo said Kami is much stronger than him.
Kami got weaker. Popo got stronger. Simple.
