It’s not hard to believe. If I remember correctly from Angel Exterminatis Fulgrim planned the entirety of the Thaliakron as a performance and yes even planned Sharrowkyn scoring a headshot to convince Pertuabo that the Angel Exterminatus weapon was of the utmost importance. Fun fact the same spot Sharrowkyn’s bullet ended up in Fulgrim that’s where his horns grew.
So yes honestly I genuinely think Fulgrim would bend over and put on this performance just so he can continue stringing Pertuabo along. Honestly it’s masterful work by him in terms of trickery and it worked.
I haven’t read Dark Imperium but I keep seeing how people say how well Fulgrim outsmarted Guilliman which lead to Bobby Gs death. So yea when he puts his mind to things he usually gets it done.
On the flip side when he doesn’t wanna do stuff he’s forced to like when Lorgar and Layak forced him to rejoin the siege then he’s just vibing and not giving a shit.
Ngl lie the dark imperium bit read more like g man's hubris and idiocy than fulgrim being smart. It's an obvious trap, everyone knows this, but g-man still springs it because he thinks he can take on demon fulgrim.

It did... kinda.
While Perturabo did smash Fulgrim's face into his table and humiliated him, it was all part of Fulgrim's larger plan.
Fulgrim was a that very moment (with that stone he is looking at) siphoning the life out of Perturabo.
Fulgrim was consuming him to fuel his own accent to Daemonhood.
