   > The statement about 1/(2**32) event as sufficiently frequent does not 
sound to me
   
   According to the [birthday 
problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem#Square_approximation), 
the collision would happen with probability of 50% at `2**16` elements, which 
is not that uncommon.
   Then, if something goes wrong, it would be extremely hard to identify: 
JMeter would skip certain samplers or configuration elements, so it is more 
like a silent data corruption rather than "crash once every `2**32` JMeter 
executions".
