That is not what that scan means; he means that he has a very "astute" perception. It's a play on words.

Yeah pretty much means he's really smart

Nope, manga says TRUE ocular powers to read minds and souls. Kabuto himself was a genius.. why would he state something like that and why does no one else get that stated about them?

There are feats backing Itachi's mind reading.

Figuring out Path vision in seconds
Anticipating all of Kakashi's moves
Anticipating all of Naruto's moves
Anticipating all of Sasuke's moves
Obito feared him

What else is being "astute," then? Just wondering. Itachi never anticipated all of Sasuke's moves. Obito feared him because of his shrewdness. When he states "Ocular Powes" he is referring to his ability to see more than another man can. Remember, Sharingan is an eye that mimics and copies the "nuances" of the body. I am not sure how clear I can make this.

There is a difference between knowing and calculating :D

Even if you calculate to 99.99% knowing is absolute :D

Knowing what? Itachi was capable of being more perceptive than others. That is all.

Nope because he would not have said TRUE Ocular powers. Also why point that out if Sasuke is there with him? Just face the fact he mean't reading minds and souls

And yet, he ends it with that sentence?

He definitely wasn't alluding to literally his eyes. He was more praising his clairvoyance/acumen/distinct perception than anything else. Itachi was always a little better at perceiving things than others.

It could also be foreshadowing of Sarada's pending solo days. ;)

Exactly bro. You got what it needs to become a loyal itachi follower. Say it with me:

Lord Itachi, the solo king, defend us in battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the narutards.
May you rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O king of the heavenly host,
by the power Totsuka cast into hell Narutards and all the evil faps
who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amaterasu.

He meant that he can see throw people feelings, he knows what is true and when they lie by knowing the situations and them by observing.
Just as Minato saw what was important for Bee and Ai didnt acknowledge till 20 years after.
