   ```
   **Bloom filters** are probabilistic data structures. Here the reference 
prediction can produce false positives: we might 
   skip some non referenced blobs that should have been garbage collected. 
However, the associated probability can be tuned 
   and by adding a salt we can ensure subsequent runs will have different sets 
of false positives and thus that all blobs is
   eventually garbage collected.
   ```
   
   Explains just that.
