>Someone said "I dunno, he looks kinda familiar?" That's it?

That's not what she said. She said it was him. They had conversation and interactions etc to form good memory.

You say "good memory," but there's no evidence of it. The post said "recognized him," though there's a bit of priming (A NEWSWEEK COVER STORY!) to encourage that process along: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7354326

Memory is highly fallible. Eyewitness accounts are highly unreliable even after a shorter period of time than three years. The burden of proof is properly on the Dorian == Satoshi folks.

come on. you are hanging on evidence best generalized as "someone on the internet said someone they know says they recognize him".

by these standards, the Newsweek article itself seems like sufficient evidence.
