If you take a look at this addendum that we've just been given, The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, page 3 paragraph 8, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary defines "satisfied" to mean "to furnish sufficient proof or information, to set free from doubt, or certainty, or to convince."  But I agree there is a difference between "convince" and "satisfy", although this Shorter English Dictionary defines "satisfy" to mean also "convince".
