Has anyone done a rigorous analysis of his writing style to find a human match?
That, and his wife not believing he was Satoshi (while not claiming it was impossible) are the biggest counterpoints I've come across.
Still, I find it a very compelling case. Sassaman as part of a Satoshi collective also seems possible.

Nitpicking but it's annoying - Why does this post insist on using the singular 'they/their' (in reference to Satoshi) when the normal 'he/his' would suffice and read much more clearly?
Because Satoshi's identity and whether or not they were a singular individual or a group of individuals is unknown. It is entirely acceptable, and more often than not probabilistically and politically correct, to use they/them here. I doubt anyone would be upset at people using he/him when referring to Satoshi, but also along those same lines, it seems strange to be upset at they/them usage for an unknown entity.

If it's not even known that Satoshi was an individual, how is it known they weren't a woman?
In terms of individual vs group, it seems unlikely that a group would have the discipline to not do anything with billions of dollars or expose the individual with control of the same.

And this means what? I certainly could provide a counterexample if you think people always use pseudonyms of the same gender.
