And by "arbitrarily close", you mean any of:

* So close to 1.0 that IEEE double precision is unable to represent it
* So unlikely that you could perform one trial every nanosecond until
the heat death of the universe and still not expect to see it
* Less likely than that two files could accidentally collide on MD5,
SHA1, SHA256, and file size, simultaneously

I think all of the above are true of this case, though I have to guess
about the heat death of the universe.
