When a smart person tells a lie they can tell a good convincing lie. Also that was only one example anyway another example being Akainu intentionally insulted Whitebeard to anger Ace to put him in a vulnerable position which worked. Because Akainu knew Ace would retaliate against his comments he said about Whitebeard.

My point still stands anyway I haven't seen any evidence to suggest Aokiji is smarter than Akainu
