Hashing is specifically done to prevent just this. (Just reacting to the comment here, haven't grokked the specifics.)
That just makes it even more confusing that it uses longer to vary the right than the left – is the specific hash algorithm used not "balanced" (or whatever the term of art is) the way it ideally/theoretically should be?
