Kaioshin who can one shot Freeza is arguably weaker than the Base Saiyans in the Boo Arc
The same Kaioshin that was able to immobilize SSJ2 Gohan for a moment at the tournament and that Piccolo said was stronger than himself?
Kaioshin is stronger than base saiyans and stronger than Piccolo. He just isn't stronger than the Buu arc adult Super Saiyans.

He is talking about the Trunks that defeated Mecha Freeza, who could have gotten stronger after 6 months. I don't think that there is any argument about Piccolo being above Artificial Humans arc Trunks.

Kaioshin is stronger than Piccolo, who is much stronger than the base Saiyans.

So are you saying that new born Trunks and Goten with power levels of 5 could still turn Super Saiyan? I was always under the impression that a certain level of power had to be reached in order to become a super saiyan.
It is stated in Daizenshuu 4 & 7.
Daizenshuu 4 wrote:The tailless second generation are super ultra child prodigies.
Saiyan genes have an extraordinarily good compatibility with Earthling blood. Because of this, when the two races are mixed together children with formidable power are born.
Particularly, those Halflings born without tails hide an exceptional battle power. There are many things that they naturally master from a young age, such as the ordinarily arduous transformation into a Super Saiyan. In spite of having such an outstanding battle sense, they do not have a fondness for battle like a pure Saiyan. Instead, it seems that the violent temperament of the Saiyan has been relaxed through their Earthling blood.
Piccolo was confident going against foes who beat Sjin Trunks before meeting the androids
Daizenshuu 7 wrote:Trunks
Characteristics
The Trunks from the tragic future is serious and dutiful. Meanwhile, the one in the present is extremely different, being obstinate and full of bravado. He has surprising power for a child,
including being able to transform into a Super Saiyan without even training, and managing to hit his father Vegeta once.
Son Goten
Characteristics
A boy filled with energy, just like his father. He loves Gohan, calling him "big bro, big bro", and the two often play together. He prefers play to study.
Even without training, he is able to transform into a Super Saiyan.
Piccolo is not necessarily stronger than Trunks. Piccolo overestimated himself because he was beating a guy that was supposed to have been much stronger than SS Vegeta, SS Gohan, and SS Trunks from the future. Kuririn compared him with the Super Saiyans, but he is not necessarily as strong as them, he could be just close to them. It could be interpreted as Piccolo > Trunks, but not necessarily, and it makes more sense to me that Piccolo never surpassed any Super Saiyan of Freeza before merging with Kami.
So, any other flaws in my list?
Piccolo said that Kaioshin is in a different level which suggests he is even stronger than SSjin Gohan because SSjin Gohan is not a whole other level than Piccolo, sure he is way stronger but not a different level completely
Kaioshin is much much weaker than SSjin Gohan based on the Z Sword and Piccolo > Kaioshin IMO

Where does the idea that Trunks in his 2nd appearance is any stronger than in his 1st appearance? It's not suggested at all.

Chapter: 335 (DBZ 141), P3.3-4
Goku: “For you, a Super Saiyan who instantly defeated Freeza and co., to call them monsters is really something…
Trunks “Yes…I’ve stood against them, but unfortunately…In any case, I’m up against two of them…Even fighting one-on-one, I could barely manage to escape…”
Trunks implies he is no match for the Androids and call them monsters in the Trunks Saga
Chapter: 355 (DBZ 161), P8.5
Context: Trunks compares No.17 and No.18 in his timeline to the ones in the present
Trunks: “They weren’t as outrageously strong as this…Even I could fight them fairly well…”
Yet three years later Trunks says he can put up a fight vs the Androids

Trunks was in the future for 6 months, and he was desperate to defeat the Artificial Humans. So, it's only logical to think that he was training hard.

What are you talking about? During the Cell Games, SS Vegeta & Trunks were stronger than Piccolo, SS Goku was much stronger than SS Vegeta & Trunks, and SS Gohan was stronger than SS Goku. Since SS Gohan is much stronger than Kaioshin, and Kaioshin is much stronger than Piccolo. Meaning that SS Gohan is still much stronger than Piccolo.
And again, what other flaws do you see in my list? Could you stop ignoring my question please?

Piccolo is NOT stronger than Kaioshin. That notion is highly illogical.
Vegeta: "Funny... I seem to recall Kakarot being fed the same information right before he transformed; the distinct look on your faces when he went Super Saiyan didn't exactly inspire confidence. One does not predict or calculate power like ours."

Toriyama did write the script for Battle of Gods that includes gives lines for Beerus to say something about Base Saiyan can't beat Frieza, expect by turning into Super Saiyan to able to defeat Frieza. That means Frieza > Base Saiyan's is pretty much fact.

Kaioshin was the weakest Kai and there were another four KaioshnIns. Piccolo is stronger in the Boo Arc. There is no way Kaioshin can be much stronger than Piccolo but much weaker than SSjin Gohan with such a small gap. I posted a link which proves why it makes no sense in my earlier posts

Like what? We have a few inconsistencies, like Kaio's planet and Gohan turning SSJ, but other than that, there's not much else wrong with it. There's especially nothing wrong with it in terms of power scaling.

Based on what? Piccolo was scared to fight him and Piccolo in the Buu saga is stronger then he was in the Cell Games via power scaling. Kaioshin could beat Semi-Perfect Cell and I doubt Goku in his base form could beat Semi-Perfect Cell during the Buu saga.

Vegeta fared better than Gohan because Vegeta caught Beers off guard and because Gohan was drunk. I won't make excuses for Bulma's age, that is a mistake. It's been 5 years since Mr Satans brief interaction with Dende. It gives him time to forget. Mr Satan is also drunk in that scene.

His assumptions are based on Dabura's statement about the 3 huge powers hiding on the cliff.

Except that this seems to be the case. Piccolo probably reached his limits after RoSaT, and he probably realized that as much as he would train, he would never reach Cell, since he didn't enter for a 2nd time. So, his gains after 7 years should have been small, especially when he is completely useless in Boo arc. And since there was a huge gap between SS Gohan & Piccolo in the Cell Games, it seems that the gap between them has remained huge after 7 years.

The battle powers are based on facts
