1) yes, I gave you an example of a hash algorithm that is broken right now. SHA1 is only getting there, because the attacks are always only getting stronger. Responsible people don't wait until the attacks are practical and devastating, but instead react by predicting the obvious things that will happen in the future.

Overall I don't think you're arguing in good faith, so I'm going to walk away from this discussion.
