So, the argument is because the hash is displayed it can be reversed by subsequently hashing every known combination of characters with every known mail provider?
I'll give a shiny nickel to the first person that can reverse this hash: 9b60573dba6b13029b245bbdf7d01323
Moral: Not everyone uses some variation on their name nor do they use the most common email providers.
