First of all, I believe, as many do, that it absolutely makes no sense for someone so into privacy (didnt give any personal details, used TOR, encrypted his email address from even the forum boards he was posting on) to use his real name.
We already know that... and its the #1 reason why Dorian is likely not Satoshi.
However, some people are countering that with the argument of: "well, he didn't expect Bitcoin to really take off."
My counter to that counter is that simply publishing a white paper such as he did would probably get you on a government watch list and Satoshi well knew this... REGARDLESS of whether bitcoin would thrive.
I mean seriously...
A guy smart enough to invent bitcoin obviously knows the importance of remaining anonymous. I would have realized this and i'm probably a mental midget compared to Satoshi.
Look, we don't know who is behind bitcoin... could be NSA for all I know (although I doubt it)... but even that is more likely than this old Japanese guy (Dorian) being Satoshi.
