I know nothing of the Bitcoin structure now or then, but there’s a logic flaw there... 1) At some point during development he would have absolutely been the only one mining because the code only existed on his machine. 2) Requiring that another peer be available doesn’t mean that both peers couldn’t be run by the same person, even if they were run with different sets of keys. A peer in this case is a software construct, not a physical one.
