Itachi is far from being one of my favourite characters, quite the contrary actually. And I did answer your question, you just don't want to read it.
But the thing is that hypothetical or not the question itself is stupid. "Has Sasuke surpassed Itachi?" - Which Itachi are we talking about? Because to surpass is to compare both and Sasuke coming on top, but you have to know what to compare to. And as EMS does not exist in a same plan as MS Itachi you can not make this comparison. So that must mean you want to compare an Edo MS Itachi to EMS Sasuke and that still leaves Itachi on top.
While if you want to compare if current Sasuke has surpassed what Itachi was able to achieve in life, then the answer is no. Despite the fact that current Sasuke is an addition of his own eyes to Itachi's, Sasuke still has long way to go until he reaches the mastery and experience Itachi had.
EMS grants Sasuke the kunay and Itachi's MS is just a stone. But the master still can beat a kunay with a stone.
None of this analysis fully answers your question, much less the way you wanted, simply because the question was poorly formulated. This comparison is idiotic and like it or not logic works this way. You may not like it but hey!... Live and learn, boy.
@bold: :sy: Itachi doesn't have to be alive to compare his power to Sasuke's.
And you didn't answer the question in your first post, you said "And yet again another thread where no conclusions can be achieved as it is an impossible matter."
None of what you posted in your first post was necessary, all you had to do was answer the question, and if you think it is idiotic; why did you even post in here to begin with?
