I can think of at least one strong reason why satoshi would like to sow doubt about his existence.
So in your example of a possible scenario he (Satoshi) would come out and pretend to be a total dick to not be outed properly as a genius?
Or perhaps satoshi
is a total dick. I mean, why not?
As I recall, the initial outing was not uttered by CSW.
If by satoshi you mean the individual that was profusely posting here for a really long time... It is very improbable for him to be a "total dick" no matter how much effort he put into hiding it.
Also there's almost zero probability for CSW to not being a "total dick" no matter how much effort he is putting in looking as one.
Almost negligible possibility they are the same individual.
