Ay isn't a dimwit at all, unless you consider anyone who acts emotionally to an event is dumb for life. Never been angry and did something you regret? Ay, when he is level headed, has shown good situational awareness, such as immediately grasping a counter measure to minato's flying rajin. Minato may have still outsmarted him in the end, but it was with a near impossible to read sleight of hand trick. Ayy didn't even do too bad in his fight versus sasuke even though he was emotionally charged in the fight. he casually tanked chidori then body slammed sasuke, who was saved by plot ( sasuke was still slammed into his own susanoo with tremendous force, how does a replacing a hard object (the ground) with an even harder object (susanoo) cushion the massive amount of force Ay applied to sasuke?). Never mind that. After he sees sasuke activate mangeyko, Ayy taps into his experience and decides that he needs to up his power level two. then while he absolutely didn't need to touch the amaterasu to defeat sasuke, at the end of the day he still would have accomplished his goal. The best sasuke could hope for was a draw if Gaara didn't intervene.
