Of course it's fragile. That's the point.
No, you're not comprehending.
A fragile hash is almost useless. For example, you hash an image, then upload it somewhere. Somebody else saves the file, and without intentionally modifying it, uploads it to social media. Somebody checks the hash, and it's different, because all the social media sites re-encode the images to save bits.
Whereas, a more sophisticated perceptual hash would identify the plagiarism.
This is the type of argument made by someone who has a vested interest in tampering with evidence.
If you're gonna be an asshole, it helps not to also be a moron at the same time.
