Again, you're comparing ridiculous natural talent to people who are just good at it. You've set Lelouch as the bar when he's way above it.

Same as above. Informed or not, that he is worse than Lelouch is of little concern.

As for being Lelouch's equal, Lelouch constantly is shown to be his better, and Schneizel is the only person shown to be even close to Lelouch's level. Not exactly a great leader
Turn 11. He beats Lelouch in strategy. Lelouch himself admits it. Lelouch sees the bigger picture better is all.

It's the same thing with the KoR where we are told they are the best of the best when only Suzaku, and Bismark have any great talent.
Unfair comparisons all around. Li clearly is good at what he does. He managed to outflank Lelouch in the battle in Turn 24. He only loses to Suzaku because Suzaku has the hax Albion when they fight. Tohdoh leads the attack on Shikine Island in Stage 18 just fine. Cornelia lost to Lelouch only because he's better at what they do. Informed Ability tells us she's good herself. The KoR are also shown to be good. Luciano goes on a vertiable killing spree in Turn 17, even throwing a ship at another ship. Anya has kicked her share of ass, even Jeremiah if it weren't for that dirty trick with the hidden Knightmare. Gino pretty much beat Li. Everyone else who doesn't matter lost to the hax Albion.

Again, not competent, exceptional. Your standards are much too high.
