Itachi himself said he would surpass Madara(it showed the actual Madara here, not the masked man so Itachi was referring to VotE Madara) if he had the EMS during his fight with Sasuke, I see no reason for him to LIE about THAT. Although his intent was to make Sasuke think he truly was an evil son a of a gun even then.
