It's already a lie, considering NCMEC's database already has non-CSAM images. It won't ever be true, since the hundreds and possibly thousands of entities with direct and indirect access to the database can upload SunnyMeadow.jpg labeled as CSAM content, and it's blindly accepted.
If Apple is receiving a hash labeled as "CSAM", how can they possibly make this guarantee? They do not know it's CSAM. It's unverifiable and comes down to "trust us".
Remember, NCMEC is an unaccountable organisation inextricably linked with the FBI and the U.S. government. It is not subject to FOIA requests. Its database has never been audited, and it is known to be a mess already.

According to whom? > "it is known to be a mess already." According to whom? You've posted a number of claims about the CSAM database administration process on HN and the one instance where you've cited a source, it's been a junk source.
