I'm not sure what that sentence means, can you rephrase it?

The analysis you have provided for why SHA-512 is superior to SHA-256 is faulty.

The analysis was only supposed to explain why the 256-bit length of the hash output is not the sole determinant of a hash's strength. The parent was saying that, that's why it's quoted in my reply.

Pity it didn't come across that way.
