It seems like a reasonable response to inquiries about a specific project. It is less likely as a general response to your general involvement in military contracts. Now ask yourself: Which specific projects had they been talking about, other than Bitcoin? If you can find one, I think your point becomes valid. If you can't, I have to side with the grandparent, at least on this aspect of the story. Of course, alternative explanations are possible. It's possible that there is one specific military contract project that is haunting Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto so much that that sentence came out even though the reporter had never brought it up. That does feel a bit like grasping at straws to me, though.
