Already addressed this, its Hyperbole and should be classified as that. Praise should also be taken into context (After finding out about Itachi's true intentions, we can assume that he stated that a stalemate with Jiraiya would occur just to deter Kisame from fighting). Another example would be how Iruka stated that the 3rd was the strongest hokage (the third and fourth would have been the only hokages that Iruka would have ever seen in his lifetime, but this was also stated for a reason by Kishimoto). Praise from characters like Zetsu & Hagoromo are more legitimate since they have viewed thousands of years of warfare to judge how powerful some characters are (Hagoromo stating that Kaguya was stronger than himself and Zetsu stating several different characters prowess in the series). I wouldn't say that for the first one. Jiraiya proved Itachi's statement due to his feats against Pain and Four-Tailed Naruto. If he didn't, you could say that. The second one is a retcon.
