| Feb 11, 2016 at 17:53 | comment | added | orlp | @MartinBüttner I'm talking about finding a specific failing input. | |
| Feb 11, 2016 at 17:51 | comment | added | Martin Ender Mod | I guess there's also a difference between requiring proof for incorrectness and requiring a constructive proof. (It shouldn't be hard to prove that there is an infinite amount of strings hashing to any finite-length hexdigest, so it's easy to prove that the above program doesn't work, but finding a specific failing input is likely impossible.) | |

| Feb 11, 2016 at 17:29 | comment | added | undergroundmonorail | on one hand, i don't think your example should be allowed. on the other hand, i don't mind probabilistic primality tests... yeah, this contradiction probably means we need policy on this :P | |
