Thus implying there are man-made systems that are not breakable, and furthermore SHA-2 is one of them.
I'm sorry, you've lost me. I was responding to the claim that any man-made system was breakable. The most obvious example of a man-made system that is unlikely to be breakable in our lifetimes (so, I'll say, "ever") is SHA2. Then someone responded that SHA2 wasn't an interesting target. It doesn't have to be; it just has to be man-made, or concede the narrowing of the original claim.
You want to pick a date and make a bet?
You are the one discarding every date. I'll take the opposite bet: it will eventually happen, on some date.
I haven't discarded any date. Pick one, and an amount to bet!
> OK, produce a SHA-2 collision.
- Why a collision?

Going back so quickly?
