Probably because there are enough people who would still claim that he's not Satoshi. They'd just say he stole the signing key or something. There are already some saying that it was a colleague who he's taking the credit for, it's only a small leap for conspiracy nuts to jump to the theft idea.
Of course, it's vastly more likely that he is not Satoshi and he's just trying to save face.

It might have just been a slip of the tongue/party joke he just rolled with and didn't expect to get this big. When your every action gets a Guardian article it can be a scary time for anyone. Especially those who've not experienced it before.
