Proof-of-Satoshi fails Proof-of-Proof

Regardless of his larger accomplishments, this particular post qualifies as a rant by my measure- phrases like "ripping the wool off sheep's backs" and "sate your pavlovian hunger" don't make for calm and measured discourse. As for substance, clearly he's angry that people are responding so scathingly to Wright's claim, but A) this is the internet, that's how it behaves, and B) we are all quite aware that cryptographic proofs aren't everything and that Satoshi might have lost his keys, but Wright has offered us many good reasons to doubt his sincerity. Past actions (fake degrees, tax shenanigans, etc) aside, he came out with the assertion that he was Satoshi and could prove it. He posted a fake demonstration of signing a message with Satoshi's key, and then made noise about being about to spend coins from the genesis block before backing out altogether. It just looks bad. If he had come out and said "I'm Satoshi Nakamoto, but I don't have the keys to prove it", well... people wouldn't necessarily believe him, but it would have remained a possibility in people's minds. This whole story has functioned as quite effective human proof that Wright is a con-artist.

Having Satoshi's keys proves you have Satoshi's keys we understand the obvious "nuances". I think he just likes to hear himself talk.
