you know what the worst part about argument about "... is or is not Satoshi Nakamoti" is

the worst part is that, this discussion is so dumb and at the same time it has a very simple solution.
step one of proving someone is Satoshi is if that someone signs a message (a cryptography proof). it is very simple that it makes me laugh even thinking about people who are still talking about it.

It should be, but wasn't Gavin Andresen tricked somehow when Craig Wright met him.  IIRC Wright brought in a "brand new" computer, and supposedly signed something with Satoshi's key. Gavin said he was convinced, then later said he was no longer so sure CW was Satoshi. So it wasn't so simple for Gavin for reasons one can speculate on  Wink
