What would you do if it turned out that the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto was Nick Szabo?

So i read a pretty compelling article the other day making the case for Nick Szabo being Satoshi. A few of the arguments were, 1) He was a close friend to Hal Finney with a cryptographic background, 2) inventor of Bit Gold right before Bitcoin existed, 3) Was not cited in the Bitcoin whitepaper (obfuscation perhaps?), 4) An IP address leak by Satoshi pointed near Nick Szabo, and theres a dozen other listed reasons.

Now my question is, since Nick Szabo is a L2-loving small blocker, what would be the reaction of the people on this sub if he were Satoshi Nakamoto? Would that shake your conviction in BCH at all, would any narratives change?

I dont think Szabo is by any stretch a bad person, he is also not a bitcoin maximalist (sympathetic to altcoins, like Satoshi). But his views on blocksize seem to be the opposite of on this sub.

So do you think its in the realm of reasonable strong possibility he is Satoshi, and if he was would that change your mind about anything?
