Nick Szabo, could very well be Satoshi Nakamoto, but in so far as I know, he not explicitly denied the article in detail.
Most pundits now believe that Satoshi Nakamoto is more likely to be a pseudonym behind which there is more than one person and hence dismiss this article which cites Szabo.
The compelling argument of Nick Szabo being the creator of Bitcoin is the analysis that was done. The fact that no other names prop-up for this analysis is what makes Szabo a strong candidate likely matching Satoshi Nakamoto. However, because this analysis was only done on Nick Szabo, the results can be termed biased in some manner.
The likely number of candidates who could invent Bitcoin is low, which makes Szabo a great match. However, many now believe we will never know the true identity of the person(s) who created Bitcoin.
