Read things more carefully before rushing to judgement. I'm not talking about a lookups-only scenario. Of course you can make anything O(1) as long as you arbitrarily define all the parts that aren't as external to the solution, but you're just kidding yourself in the end.

So it seems you won this argument on several fronts ;)
