And Claude was like, ah, I did the research and I found it.

Specifically what they did was stylometric analysis, which is basically looking at ticks in the writing styles of Adam Back and comparing them to Satoshi.

So Satoshi had a number of idiosyncrasies.

He like used both English and British spelling for words.

He hyphenated some words in weird ways.

And apparently Adam Back had a lot of things similar to a lot of these idiosyncrasies that Satoshi had.

Now, the problem with this story is that what he says clearly is that there's been stylometric analysis before of Adam Backer, as well as the cypherpunks, the people who were in the early mailing list that led to the creation of Bitcoin.

And the stylometric analysis that they originally ran was inconclusive.

It said that there were many people who were consistent with the sort of stylometric distance from Satoshi.

Adam Back was not even the closest.

And Hal Finney was equivalently close to Satoshi's stylometric analysis as Adam Back.

But then at the very end,

The author runs it again, but he kind of, like, picks the particular parameters that he uses to create this decision tree of, like, okay, but, okay, the salametric analysis was not conclusive, but what if I run it again by hand?

And now I'm going to run it, I'm going to say, okay, who hyphenates, you know, birthday?

Oh, both Satoshi and Adam Back do this.

And also, who ends sentences in the word also?

Oh, Adam Back and Satoshi do this.

Okay, that brings it down to three.

Now, last one.

What if it's a blah, blah, and blah, blah?
