Which false claim did I make? I'm still waiting...

You don't need to look for those things. By definition, you know they exist. I don't need to find or enumerate all primes to know that an infinite number of them exist.
For more information, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeonhole_principle
By definition, assuming arbitrarily-sized inputs, there are infinite messages that collide to the same hash value.
But, don't worry... it is clear you have no actual meaningful point to add, so I won't continue this conversation with you any further. Have a nice day.
Again, you need actual examples. Not handwaving, not the unwavering yet entirely unjustified certainty that you're correct, you need examples. And you don't have any.
Until you do that, I'm not pursuing this conversation any further. Have a nice day.
EDIT: Also, if you do want to have a conversation, make sure to stick to HN rules and talk about what is being discussed, rather than about me. Thanks.
The part where you make a false claim out of ignorance.

No reason I should go looking for such things. You're the one making the false claims, if you have found "many things" with that hash then list them to prove your point, otherwise go away.
