Imagine this, write a C program where you write x million functions where each simply returns a single number (ie three_million = return 3000000) etc. then the codebase contains as many lines as you can imagine and up to int overflow (or use bignumber lib) and 0% of your bugs are related to memory safeness.
Basically it makes it more difficult for an adversary to exploit collisions from your hash function.
