One of the emails used by Satoshi was tracked to CA (where Finney lived), the original paper talks in plural "we" (fwiw), and the Dorian Satoshi person lived in CA and could have been an inspiration for the name (if Finney had come across him somehow) since he was a very private, anti gov person (not saying he had anything to do with BTC)

The misdirection play would make more sense in real time (eg 2008) vs randomly in the 2020s.

Adam could have released the email metadata and that would have absolved him, but he didn’t.
