This is an exaggeration, Google demonstrated a successful collision attack.

A collision attack against a release would require that both the legitimate
tarball and the fake be created together, so only one of you lot could pull it
off. And you'd need hardware that's orders of magnitude faster than Google's to
avoid some very suspicious behaviour.
