The only reason I believe that those posts were not written by the same person are the dates - the time between Satoshi's post and Peter Todd's post. It's one day apart. If it was a continuation of Satoshi's thoughts posted mistakenly using another account, then it would have been mere minutes apart, no?
todd isnt satoshi nor is he carrying on with his own conversation.. but.. it was 1hour 27 minutes apart, not one day
11:59pm 1:28am
i read it as he was answering satoshi.. of course
I read it like that too, but I could understand why an "investigative journalist" would create theories and hypotheticals around that post, especially that it was Peter Todd's second post in BitcoinTalk.
Plus didn't he get his first recognition in the forum for debating Gavin Andresen on why unlimited block sizes are stupid? That probably would make everyone wonder "What if".

the way i view the documentary is that its a sales pitch for blockstream(a.back&s.mow) and pointing that a.back is 2nd inline as satoshi candidate(facepalm)
so when the todd claim is debunked, it leaves people thinking it must then be a.back.. and boom a.back gets new investors in his company.. its like csw but in a different style
Laughable. Adam Back was already one of the cryptographers that some people believe to be Satoshi. He didn't need the HBO show for that.
