    This is pretty solid reasoning. I'd say this is true for any string based key, which is something that discussions of hash tables should mention as a caveat. I can't think of any case where this would be true of integers, however, unless the integer key is an array of integers (basically how strings work under the surface). Commented May 16, 2022 at 14:32
