I mean, he worked for a long time on this and its his masterpiece. He needs to have some type of say/control over his baby.

Are you familiar with the concept of open source software? The author makes it free for anyone to modify and release their own versions of it. Or can just pass the role of maintainer to other people, no strings attached. And no single person controls Bitcoin development, all the changes that are made are agreed upon by the community of developers.

3) -- (5 minutes) Satoshi has posted on this page on December 13, 2010. Pieter Wuille registered 4 days later on December 17, 2010. And he has been at the forefront of development. Coincidence?

This doesn't mean anything. If satoshi had an alt account, he could have registered it at any point in history. You gotta show a lot of strong evidence to claim that someone is satoshi, not some single and meaningless coincidence.

Coupled with the fact that coincidences simply do not exist.

Where did you pull that fact from?

The time frames in relation to satoshis final post and Wuille registering for bitcoin talk was exactly 4 days. It would be impossible for satoshi to never post on these boards again. The fact that this man is onw of the core developers since day 1 is also extremely coincidental. I do not believe in coincidences -- especially 2 like this combined. Those statistics are astronomical. It is a theory which is of course based on stats and ruling out variables

He most CERTAINLY changed the way he communicated to throw ppl off. And he did a fantastic job.
