 * In combat, this allows them to see fast-moving objects and, once fully developed, offers some amount of predictive capabilities : they can anticipate an opponent's next move based on the slightest muscle tension in their body and act accordingly to dodge or intercept. - Kirin doesn't have muscles gg. But sadly this means Obito predicted the raikage and not reacted?
 * Although a Sharingan user can see these things, they also need the physical ability to actually act on the visual information - In itachi's case he would need the mental ability or thought process of one millisecond to act since the predictive thing is off the table, he reacted to it and had the above^. Which Itachi had prove to have in the shurikenjutsu faceoff, Itachi could accurately summon and deflect the shurikens, when Sasuke needed a scroll to summon the shurikens proving he had an inferior thought process.

The "shooter pointing a gun" example illustrates how one can be faster/countering than the "shooter" but not faster than the bullet. If the shooter tells you he's gonna shoot you in 2 seconds, and your action to put up a shield is 1 second, you have to time your action to coincide with the timing of the shooter. Doing that successfully doesn't make you faster than a speeding bullet. Don't manipulate the scenario, it's about reacting to the attack. Dodging the bullet after it had been fired.
