Alright, my bad for not being more concrete. Let me try: "Your honor, the hash 6f5902ac237024bdd0c176cb93063dc4 was found in Ofcom's illegal hash list, which is the MD5 hash for 'hello world' all lowercase. 'hello world' is obviously not illegal. Someone must have found a way to put it in there, perhaps maliciously, perhaps by accident, perhaps due to a bribe [per the parent comment], perhaps as an act of protest. Ether way, it proves not every hash in the hash dump is illegal, and we have no way of knowing whether the legal ones outnumber the illegal ones by 1 to 10, or 10 to 1, or 1 million to 1. Indeed we have good reason to believe malicious actors would want to fill this database up with meaningless hashes as much as possible if any backdoor was found. Therefore evidence from Ofcam's database must be considered inadmissible."
