They are also filled with metaphor and hyperbole. At any point the Databooks must always be interpreted in the spirit of the manga. Considering that Itachi didn't use his Sword and Mirror for literally everything, not even in death where it would've had no downsides, it's quite clear that the Databook's entries for them are hyperbole.

He also didn't have to react to lighting, since Kirin came down with Sasuke's hand movement so all Itachi had to do was predict this hand movement and activate Susanoo the moment it came down. Considering Sasuke was still talking at this point and had a bright blue/white bolt of lightning in his hand against a black/grey background, Itachi wouldn't have needed a lot of effort to figure out when the attack came.
