lol but Shikidai is a genius like his Father
learnt some things from his Father who is the main aide to not only the 7th Hokage but also was for the 6th (who had info about all clans residing in Konoha)
not only that but Mitsuki who is also well versed in clan knowledge didn't refute it but instead hoped Boruto had the dojutsu
add to the fact that Kishi wrote the episode and uses characters to express his overall narration and thoughts for his universe.
you have to be a silly person to assume Kishi was just tossing a red herring with no context or reason just because...
