i think what you fail to take into consideration is the fact, that
even if the chance of a collision may be relatively high by your
standards, the chance that the colliding blocks have data of any
significance is very, very low. i.e., the algorithm for figuring out
whether a hash collision will be important to you personally belongs
to EXPSPACE, which, we all know, is filled with pr0n anyways.
cheerio!
