But you realize that would make hashirama foolish right? He knows madara is the strongest uchiha yet looks in his eyes because he "knows" he will break it? If hashriama was as cautious as you say he would still avoid eye contact and we never see him do that or go out of his way to do that. In this hypothetical matchup with itachi, he would likely underestimate him by that logic and that makes it even more likely he will get caught in tsyukyomi. And really the avoiding eye contact thing is still a paradox, because everyone knows not to do that yet people still get caught. AY knew not to look into madaras eyes but he did so accidentally and got caught.
