Re: I missed this reading the original collision notification

Hence the '' round need :)

Second preimage resistance is implied by collision resistance. If you demonstrate collision resistance is affordable, then second preimage resistance is no longer guaranteed to be unaffordable. So there's no need to actually perform a real preimage once you've shown collision is possible on real data because the hash is already affordably insecure.
