At least he managed to not get stuck at your first argument.

I honestly believe Superman's physical strength is a mental contrivance and that he is as strong as he needs to be but at the same time he keeps his strength in check. That would explain how he can cuddle with his wife Lois without crushing her into paste and why as Clark Kent he isn't constantly breaking things.
Control over super strength is common, and almost all characters have it. Wonder Woman can even spar with nonpowers while keeping her strength in check.
It doesn't mean his strength is a mental contrivance he can set at any level, it just means he can decide how much of the strength he does have he applies.

Yes, but Superman vs other Kryptonians tend to have him a bit stronger at most, if he beats two Kryptonian types it's due almost entirely due to skill, not a significant raw power edge. Superman is not several times above Kryptonians. Superboy is.

Anyway I believe that at their base levels Prime isn't really much stronger, he just has less mental restrictions and is much better at using his strength (as shown by him pushing entire planets, something which for the most part Current Superman doesn't do).
Still in a practical sense Prime's strength seems to be 3x greater than Superman's.
I'm not sure where you get the book feat as proof of strength...infinite pages in a magical book does not mean the book has infinite mass..

Prime is much stronger than both and has shown a vast strength difference against Superman.
