I don't see how you make any connection between how blockchain operations work and "convincing somebody who is Satoshi."
"Convincing" even "everybody" wouldn't get Wright the chance to use the bitcoins of real Satoshi, Wright'd still need a real key. Which wasn't used since the original times, certainly not by Wright.

I'm echoing blockchain as a metaphor for consensus - conflating even. I just thought there were interesting parallels between the technology and the actual social scenario that is being played out here.
