Just to illustrate a potential scenario: You use a piece of open source software that has a javascript file which the author has hosted on a CDN. In order to mitigate an attack where someone changes the content of the javascript file you use a hash[1] to ensure the file does not change.

A computer is probably going to win that game that majority of the time. [1] https://github.com/twitter/secureheaders#hash https://github.com/twitter/secureheaders#hash
