probability bias in single bit values is not the only possible bias in hash functions. i quote llm:
Consider a simple example where we have a sequence of bits generated by flipping a fair coin (probability = 0.5). Despite the fairness of individual flips, patterns can emerge over longer sequences due to the law of large numbers and other statistical properties.
...the distribution of run lengths can exhibit detectable patterns.
i leave calculations out, as i have yet to understand them, but the conclusion sounds logical.
