Hashes are not good for this... I have 2 passwords at home that crypt to the same thing. Hashes at least one ways... is there another kind?)can have collissions. I would hate to have my word.exe be replaced with a porn.gif
I am sure that by automatic... they mean an defrag-esque program. BTW, defrag takes me about... oh 9 hours to complete, and All I have is a 10 Gigger in my winbox... 5 gigs are free... like I am going to trust them? Can you IMAGINE the datastructure they would have to create to do this? MEMORY HOG!!!!
Keep in mind that Computer Science is, indeed, a science, and as such if someone says something can be done, they must provide proof, that may be reproduced by the scientific community. This is the way in which science advances. Yes, there is some art to Computer Science, as in medicine, but the results are the same. Advancement of knowledge is done solely through this fashion. It is a matter of deciding, do we want to allow the courts to stop the advancement of knowledge.
