Intriguing hypothesis.
"Writing analysis shows a clear style connection between the two whitepapers. Monero Outreach, in studies using the Java Graphical Authorship Attribution Program (JGAAP) stylometry software—applying the Burrows Delta Analysis Method—found that the author of the CryptoNote whitepaper was more likely to be the author of the Bitcoin whitepaper than the author of any of 15 leading papers selected from the Monero literature. Stylometry theory says Nicolas van Saberhagen’s writing has more in common with Satoshi Nakamoto’s than with 15 prominent Monero experts.
But JGAAP’s deep scientific algorithms are not strictly required, as clear visible parallels abound: Both whitepapers used the same unexpected spelling of “favour/favourable.” Both used the contraction “can’t” contrary to the usual style of academically formatted papers. Both used the wording “In this paper, we...” Both used black-and-white line drawings with solid and dashed lines. And so forth."
