The rate of mistaken id is ridiculous.

For example, over 75% of DNA based exonerations were convicted based on mistaken ID's (and this is limited to those exonerations where DNA would be conclusive).

Post-identification feedback (IE learning facts later) can often even alter the original memory someone has of an identification:

I have read that thread, and there is no direct proof that the wife of the op actually saw Dorian. Just someone on HN talking about someone else story of an early encounter with a shy asian-looking bitcoin guy.

The only proof put forward was that the address that was 'probably' used was funded by a very early address linked to Gox. Gox isn't Satoshi (for what we know so far!), so NO.

Most likely a mistake or an advertising ploy.
