And by "arbitrarily close", you mean any of: * So close to 1.0 that IEEE double precision is unable to represent it * So unlikely that you could perform one trial every nanosecond until the heat death of the universe and still not expect to see it * Less likely than that two files could accidentally collide on MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and file size, simultaneously I think all of the above are true of this case, though I have to guess about the heat death of the universe.
