near is not the same thing as impossible.

I told this story before, but I once read an article about a police officer who said it was impossible for another person to have logged into an account because it was password protected, when we know that's not even close to being true.

impossible and improbable are not the same thing, and I sure as shit don't feel comfortable making the case that it's 100% locked in because of a hash.

The requirement should be for them to look at the actual content, not the hash.
