For anyone imagining satoshi is one person, here's a hit to point out the obvious.

Read the 2008 paper, the author uses the term 'we' throughout.
This is either a verbal peculiarity inconsistent with the display of intelligent writing on offer in the rest of the paper, or... I think you get the idea.

Anyway, I know the source. It's not very exciting knowledge. My guess is that they drafted this paper with half a mind to use their real names but settled in the end on the mysterious pseudonym- good call on their part. Satoshi will remain in the shadows, because he's the hero that bitcoin deserves, but not the one it needs right now... and so we'll hunt him... because he can take it... because he's not a hero... he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a Dark Knight...
