To me it is clear that Hal Finney wasn't Satoshi. It's also obvious that it would take too much time for someone to develop a conversation between him (Hal) and himself (Satoshi). So, Satoshi and Hal can't had been the same person.

After reading the research I'm also pretty sure Hal is not Satoshi, unless he had someone helping him be in two places at the same time. However, some people will still believe it, because Hal was one of those who is very connected to Satoshi and regardless of the evidence that exists and some new ones that may appear in the future, he will still be the best candidate for those who they are looking for Satoshi.

In the end "everything is plausible", more or less probable in mathematical terms ofc... except that CW is SN

Look, I have no problem with anyone wanting to believe anything, even that CW is the real Satoshi - but when the evidence clearly points to the fact that it isn't, then we need to take it into account before trying to convince ourselves and others of some false conclusions. Most of those who have seriously investigated this mystery agree that Satoshi was an individual and not a group of people.
