As a linguist and computer nerd I can't read articles like this without shouting inside my own head "NLP with no open source code is not NLP!" and then I can never trust the person again, like the author of this... analysis, so even if he's nailed it, and it's really Satoshi, to me it would be just a struck of luck and not a linguistic discovery per se IMHO.

The code could literally be doing anything, regardless of what the author claims it does. They don't even need to release it under a free license- just show it.
