This allows us to verify all the properties we wish to hold w.r.t. equals/hashCode.
Most of them are required by either the Java spec or by common sense: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#equals(java.lang.Object) https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#hashCode() The one "extra" requirement is that inequal objects should have different hashcodes. The spec specifically says this is allowed, but it will cause poor map/set performance, since they will be guaranteed to collide and wind up creating linked lists. Since we're only validating our own implementations, it's ok to insist on this property.
