... you should have already read: "Bitcoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System" by Satoshi. At the end of the this bitcoin white paper you will see that Satoshi references the work of many others he amalgamated into his very personal vision of an electronic currency. The same is valid for Nick Szabo. He's constantly citing the work of domain experts. Ideas like hash-cash, doubling hashing, time stamping, POW et al. were quite en vogue around the years 1998 to 2008. Using your method of "Deduktion" Satoshi would have to be a whole collective. Ooops, maybe i've told you too much already  ......... ;-)

cheers.
