I've always wondered what would happen if some black hat made all their payloads have the same hash in the hopes that if it ever went to court the confusion would hinder the proceedings.

Like i get that md5 is essentially a unique identifier and not meant to protect against malicious interference but if all the exhibits had the same identifier surely that would confuse people.
