Databooks are full of errors, yeah, but they're not pure bullshit. Just don't take the collective score as an indicator of a character's strength. Naruto's neither DBZ nor Bleach. It employs a rock-paper-scissors type of combat system. For example, Tsunade's scored .5 lower than Itachi, but Itachi's a 5 in Genjutsu and that '5' in this case means his OP Mangekyo. That, coupled with his speed which is, again, better than Tsunade's, is enough to overpower her.
