Here's what this says to me: it doesn't matter what the real risks are; it only matters that the quantifiable mathematical risks I know about be reduced to 0, regardless of the cost. That's sometimes a rational attitude to take in the world of legalities and politics. In the world of engineering, it's not popular, which is why hash-indexed storage and cryptography are used in a wide variety of applications. It's pointless to reduce the quantifiable risks from 2^-(many) to 0 when we know that the human factors and mechanical risks are much larger.
