The Databook is filled with fancy language. It's also known to have mistakes. Natrix Spiritual Cloak Gleam wrote: that yata is a perfect defense hence why he said it made the user invincible. How can a defense be flawless if it only protects one side? Zetsu also said Itachi should've been able to dodge those shuriken but he didn't. Seems like he wasn't perfectly informed of everything. He also said he was the manifestation of Madara's will. Gaara's defense and Susanoo have both been called Absolute but neither was Absolute.

If it's such a flawless defense, why did Itachi not use it against Kabuto? Why didn't he use it against Nagato? Why didn't he use it all the time, in stead of blocking a few explosive kunai?

Itachi's feats are just databook hype, and even then it's not even itachi's strengths but purely his weapons.
