I'd have phrased it differently than Perry did. I'd say
that the attackers are often cleverer

Yes, Eric and I have been talking about that, and we'll add some
discussion of that to the next version of the paper.
Eric Rescorla and I have written a paper Deploying a New Hash Algorithm.
A draft is available at http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/papers/new-hash.ps
and http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/papers/new-hash.pdf .
Here's the abstract:
As a result of recent discoveries, the strength of hash
