There are two concerns here: - is it possible to come up with an example of constructed values that show many collisions in a way that poses a threat? To this, the answer is apparently "yes", and the proposed reaction is to hard-limit the number of collisions accepted by the implementation. - then, *assuming* such a limitation is in place: is it possible to come up with a realistic application that would break under this limitation. Mark's example is no such realistic application, instead, it is yet another example demonstrating collisions using constructed values (although the specific example would continue to work fine even under the limitation). A valid counterexample would have to come from a real application, or at least from a scenario that is plausible for a real application.
