I hate Morgan Stanley
Turns out the guy who interviewed me was . . . well he thought he knew more than he did. The RSA definition of a hash function, which is what he used on a day to day basis, is for a "crytographic" hash function. A general hash function does not have to have all of these properties. Thus, I was right when I answered his question as I did. Of course, my being right doesn't really affect my chances at getting the job . . .
