I understand where you're coming from, but you're still not making sense. You're telling me a ninja from a different village who's dad was a child when the first was around has more say than a of the same village who I'm sure as a kid witnessed the 3rd in some type of capacity where he was more
Powerful than when he took on oro, the 1st, and the 2nd....at the same time. Right....
meh. but suigetsu saw and heard of the 3rd too. his dad would have had to face the 3rd head on.
and still said that the first was the best.

means nothing. the 3rd trained orochimaru. he's biased.
Kishi has clearly been trying to rewrite the mythology in the part 2 of the manga as the 1st being the greatest shinobi ever. i don't know why you guys are being so stubborn. 
everything you're citing is from the early chapters. we just read something kishi wrote 12 HOURS AGO calling the 1st the goat and you're still like "ehh, i'm not buying it."
