Potentially, but it doesn't matter what makes sense. In How to Read 13, the character stats are listed, and L's intelligence is listed as lower than Light's. However, you are right that the writer said L was the smartest, despite the stats given stating otherwise. Rather than change the stats, as they are canon, this point is mentioned in the trivia section.
