When I said Knuckles beating Super Sonic doesn't count towards Knuckles being stronger than Super Sonic, I meant he was using a specific weakness of Super Sonic. Kryptonite Man can beat Superman, but Superman is stronger than Kryptonite man. Knuckles just happened to be what Super Sonic was weak to.

As for the whole "Sonic beating Perfect Chaos" thing, I'm willing to accept it as canon. Let's remember that Sonic didn't need to go Super in order to defeat Perfect Chaos, he only did it to show him that there is good in the world. In order to do that, he needed to use the positive powers of the chaos emeralds.
