Why has no one spoken with Nick Szabo?
Wait, was that actually one the reasons Dorian was labelled as Satoshi? Because that's true of a huge number of people. Many people who learned on a typewriter (like my parents), or who were taught touch-typing formally by those who were (like my wife) still do this. It's hardly rare enough to be any kind of discriminator.
That being said, what's the point of articles like this? We will never know unless Satoshi chooses to reveal himself/themselves and proves it with a pgp key. Which won't happen. Otherwise, it's just idle speculation.

She mentioned it, but the Newsweek storied mentioned that in the context of other (but unspecified) formatting quirks and not just double-spaces.
Not saying he's wrong, but this reeks of confirmation bias.
