I know the author isn't claiming this is definitive evidence, but I think it's so comically weak it is probably not worth mentioning at all.
It seems like this “journalist” speaks English. Guess who also spoke English? That’s exactly right, Satoshi did.
Did you know Back had an interest in Japan? A rare and unusual trait within the cypherpunk community! /s
I heard through the grapevine that both Satoshi and Back were human beings. Coincidence? I think not. /s
To me this was just the cherry on top though, there's a huge list of such correlations that seem wildly unsurprising.
