No, because it's an extraordinary claim.

"Extraordinary" means outside the realm of ordinary. Signing a message is very ordinary

EDIT: Sorry I ment to say: saying "I own a key" is ordinary, and signing a message is the ordinary way to prove you own the key

Sure, anyone can sign with a key. Having THE key is the extraordinary part.

Saying you know who Satoshi is, that's the claim, and that's an extraordinary claim.
