I'm not agreeing nor disagreeing with you, I just want to point out that there are more possibilities than you seem to comprehend.

You're not thinking logically. Obviously for kabuto to have even be able to make that statement, there is info on how strong hashirama is. The fact remains that people don't believe that he is that strong b/c they thought that level of strength to be impossible not that they didn't remember his strength.
