The surprise to the system would be similar to Satoshi or some other early miner returning and suddenly moving a few hundred thousand or even million bitcoin which have been dormant for 12+ years. And that could happen at literally any time, and there is nothing we can or should do to prevent it. Assuming that coins which have not moved in a long time are lost permanently is wrong, although I'll concede that many users in the market do assume just that.

Totally agree with that. And Satoshi selling all his coins would be destructive as well.
But we assume it won’t happen (selling, not moving). But would it be the case for anybody else?
Would this selling pressure be recoverable?
