They were addressing the tired 'why doesn't anyone realise?' question - the clues are there, but it is dismissed because it seems a crazy idea to them. WE know. THEY know both Clark Kent and Superman, and think it doesn't make any sense that Superman would pretend to be this clumsy idiot.

one of the weakest force users we've seen. That's a fact. -

No, the Jedi paddowen who got shot to death by Boba Fet is by far the weakest user of the Force. He's of the same species as Jabba the Hut's right hand man. Assuming we're dismissing the children paddowen (hope I'm spelling that right) Anakin slaughtered towards the end of Clone Wars.

Except he doesn't really. Just look at the scene where Clark contemplates telling Lois. His posture changes. His voice changes. His facial expression changes.

This question has been on endless rinse-repeat for decades. We viewers and fans KNOW it because we are in on the joke. The main thing is that Superman doesn't look like Clark and doesn't sound like Clark, because nobody really knows how Clark looks or sounds.
The glasses are a mere element of the Clark persona that Kal-el has successfully adapted since childhood in deference to Pa Kent's request to "keep it down."
Even Lois barely looks at him as she zips through work and assignments. Although she does notice "something" she dismisses it, not because she's too stupid, but because she doesn't really have enough information. It wasn't until Superman II that she actually gets a good look at Clark to see the physical similarity.
In the Daily Planet, Clark works in a large organization where his mild-mannered, fish-out-of-water persona gets drowned in the furor of hell-on-wheels deadlines and spitfire personalities. He even seems this lumbering idiot who gets stuck in revolving doors and knocks over wastebins on a probable daily basis. Notice, however, that Perry White recognizes Clark's snappy, punchy prose style, i.e. high-level of intelligence and writing skill, which is why White sought to mentor him with that little talking-to about guts and aggressiveness.
Christopher Reeve, gifted actor that he is, conveyed this duality best in that scene where Superman contemplates revealing his identity to Lois change in posture, vocal timbre, the direct, confident gaze. Then, on second thought, switches back to Clark Kent mode with the stooped shoulders, soft-spoken stutter and eternal duh expression. -

But he doesn't look and sound like Clark. Clark has a higher, less confident, and more causal voice then Superman.
Clark also stoops forward and draws his shoulders in, making himself look shorter and more narrow in the chest then Superman.
Clark's glasses also help change the shape of his face, giving the illusion that his face is softer and rounder.
You can see this when Clark shows up at Lois' apartment and contemplates letting her in on his secret.

The fact that Superman drops Lois off on her balcony and before she can even go indoors, Clark waiting for her at the front door Little things like that miiight just help sell the illusion in that movie world.

In the comic book Lois was suspicious of Clark, but Superman would always find some trick to make her abandon the notion that Clark was Superman. He had lots of dummies and robots to send flying by at a convenient moment, speaking in super-ventriloquism to complete the illusion.

how would anyone NOT KNOW it's the same guy. Lol. So so dumb
It's funny you should say that. I remember an episode of Lois and Clark: TAOS where the evil genius was using time travel to ply his evil trade and right before revealing Superman's identity to Lois he says something like 'Lois Lane who in years to come will become known as the stupidest woman in history' precisely because she was the only person equally close to both Clark and Superman and still didn't work it out.

Nothing could be as bad as 1970's Wonder Woman where the only difference between her and Diana Prince was the glasses and updo, no personality or voice difference whatsoever. Then in the later seasons, I think she even ditched the glasses and went to just a ponytail if memory serves. I was just a teenager, but I remember thinking how completely dumb that was.

Back in college, I had my then-girlfriend watch the movie with me for the first time. She wasn't familiar with Chris Reeve, and really didn't know much about the Superman character. I didn't think she was serious at first, but she was ADAMANT that Superman and Kent were played by different actors. The first hour of the movie, she'd rewind the tape a couple times to point out that they had different complexions (Superman was tanned while Kent was pasty), different heights, eyes, etc., etc. She believed that literally up to the point that Clark takes his glasses off in Lois' apartment. So yeah, the disguise can fool some people at least.

The disguise is actually smarter than people give it credit for. Nobody is going to assume that Superman would ever have a secret-identity, let alone choose
that
secret identity. That's like assuming that Denzel Washington is your college professor just because it looks like him.
