The one who missed the point of the discussion was the anon, who never mentioned anything about deceaving the council.

And while I agree with most of your post, particularly the final sentence, I don't think Jura should be in there just because he has high magic power. The only somewhat intelligent (somewhat because it's might have been pure intellegt, pure battlefield awareness, pure battle instinct or a combination of them) arc we saw him pull was re-directing Dark Capriccio instead of meating it head-on and dodging Orga's attack instead of again meeting it head-on, which was more of a matter of humility (i.e. not letting your pride get in the way of results) than intelligence. Also Laxus was the one he wanted to duel, with Orga just being in the way.
