Yes, but the problem with a hash based on the pointer is that it limits your isEqual implemenation from being based on anything more than the pointer, or you violate the "If objects are equal, they must have the same hash" rule.

This has nothing to do with -hash.

P: Two objects are equal.
Q: They have the same hash.

P -> Q.

Note that Q does not imply P.
