But it doesn't make Obito's words credible when he lies to Sasuke and possibly Naruto and co. If Obito was in a court of law, the judge would deem him as "a witness with a lack of credibility".

On your Itachi point, not sure what you meant exactly. Credibility is issue here though, you could probably argue that Itachi in his final monologue to Sasuke was more credible, as he already died and found out Sasuke knew the truth. What makes one liar more credible than the other? Why is it that Itachi can fabricate history and uphold the lie but his word isnt in doubt when he claims he is finally telling the truth

Obito meanwhile sprinkles in small lies(except him being Madara) but it throws everything he ever said into question

What about Hiruzen? Sakura? Sasuke? Zetsu? Madara? They told lies but they are still credible.

I dont think we should take statements as a lie unless it was revealed to be a lie. Unlike court, this is a work of fiction where the truth comes out in the end. The mystery of Obito/Madara/Kyubi attack on Konoha has been sorted out already
