Why do you think it was ludicurous? Admittedly I don't remember any detailed account of these events - but as I understand it Wright demonstrated that he can construct a message with Satoshi private keys. Most probably he used some trick there, a rigged laptop or maybe even rigged internet connection. But it was quite reasonable proof for me - I would not expect someone to do tricks on me when he could not demonstrate the same thing publicly - because what would be the goal of that? And if you are so sure that you could not be tricked - then good luck.

"It was a mistake to agree to publish my post before I saw his - I assumed his post would simply be a signed message anybody could easily verify," Mr Andresen told security researcher Dan Kaminsky when he challenged the scientist over the matter.
