Except that not all bit combinations would make a valid image. In fact very few 
of them would, images have to be structured just so. I’m not sure if that makes 
it more or less likely that two images could collide. I’d guess less likely, 
because you’d have to enumerate how many bit combinations yield a valid image, 
and that’s a far smaller space than all possible bit combinations, but the hash 
space is the same size.
