It made sense to me - not necessarily because she is, but because it's Clark! Clark Kent is a humble and gracious man. He would never say that he's #1 - he would just be so proud of her that of course he'd find reasons for her to seem better than him, just as Kara would find reasons for Clark to be #1.(and did so the first two seasons) They're family and love each other. It's not a pissing contest for them, so why let it be one for you?
