If that were true then Ace wouldn't have been able to hit him that easily. It has been stated that Blackbeard's power has the weakness of having to absorb attacks instead of avoiding them. So if he can't turn into the darkness in time for the attack, he has to take the hit. Also the only difference from Darkness/Shadow Physiology and this is that this power has to absorb what it touches, while the others can just be intangible.
