Or Gavin just isn't James Randi, and wasn't prepared to uncover deliberate fakes.
Wright could very easily faked a demonstration on his own machine.
Last time, when Andy Greenberg (who ought to have known better, and in some ways looked like he did) bought the Wright story, I remember thinking maybe he did it for ideological reasons. I.e, he might know Wright isn't Satoshi, but be happy for attention thrown that way, because he thinks the real Satoshi deserves to be shielded.
As I see it, the strongest evidence by far is still for Nick Szabo, and I don't think I'm the only one who has come to that conclusion after looking into it.

- smcl 11y agoIs it possible that the Economist reporter didn't know Gavin, and Wright also provided a fake Gavin too? Getting slightly far fetched, but from what I've read so far nothing would surprise me ...
