The only potential exception to this is the message he put into the genesis block.

I don't necessarily agree with that. While he maybe never openly discussed his political leanings, he certainly made some other references, such as these:

Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years.

Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own.

Satoshi

The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.

These statements are in sharp contrast to the kinds of things CSW has been saying, such as how he is going to sue everyone who is using bitcoin, how bitcoin should be centralized and in his control, how he wants to silence anyone who speaks out against him, etc.

I would judge those statements to be arguing in favor of his solution to a computer science problem. It is also possible that his views have changed over time.

The fact that CSW thinks differently than how I think is not evidence that he is not satoshi. Similarly, the fact that I don't like CSW is not evidence that he is not satoshi.

Agreed, but the fact that he has repeatedly shown himself to be a technically incompetent plagiarizer is good evidence that he is not Satoshi.

Again, this is nothing more than his actions after he started claiming to be saotshi.

I would point out that if Bob were to repeadily say that 2 + 2 equals 5, no matter how many times he repeated this claim, it does not mean that Bob does not know that 2 + 2 actually equals 4.

I very strongly believe that CSW is in fact not Satoshi. However, claims such as that a signed message from a known cryptographic key would not prove that CSW is satoshi only gives credibility to CSW as it shows that his critics do not have an open mind regarding the facts and evidence.
