Satoshi never signed anything ever. How would a signature from a key Satoshi never used prove anything?

Sorry for nitpicking. People claiming to be Satoshi did so and didn't sign. It could be the real deal, or not. Maybe I wrote all of those, and just typed "Satoshi" in the "from" field?

I also want to believe, but as long as something isn't signed cryptographically, it's likely just someone pulling things out of their arse (or SMTP server)

Actually this is a case of people claiming to be Satoshi and signing with back-dated, fraudulent keys.

He can sign with the private key of one of his early mined blocks
