This is taken out of context. Satoshi argued here that unconfirmed payments would be fine for small payments and there wouldn't be frauds.

I get a feeling from the discussion which ended to this comment, that satoshi got insecure as he understood that bitcoin back then wouldn't work for small payments :)
