i.e. if we all pick numbers and stuff them into the DNS, then by the time the 1,240,000 selection had taken place the probability that a collision has occurred exceeds 0.5
That's only a problem for people who have to pick a number that collides with absolutely none of the other 1,240,000 numbers. I think no one will ever have to do that, and *moreover* I think that anybody who *does* think they'll have to do that has some explaining to do before we worry about their problem.
Who's going to do that, and why? By the way, that is *NOT* a rhetorical question. I really want to know the answer.
