This whole line of "argument" about bitcoin has always seemed odd to me. Any software developer will tell you that only a fool sticks to the original plan like its a holy book. You must adapt as you learn more information. I'm no expert on Satoshi's writings but its seems to me people are appealing to authority selectively quiet often when they reference Satoshi's vision. I imagine Satoshi changed his mind many times. That's if it was clear what he was thinking at the time. None of this matters because Satoshi is / was fallible. He could have and was wrong about things. Its weak when you use this line of argument.
