my confusion arises from many explanations of the process as "finding the bucket and immediately running equals() method on all entries" — When running get(Object key) on an instance of a HashMap in Java. Tension: why would you run equals() if you don't even know if the hashes are the same? Outcome: As one of the people commenting mentioned, this question only concerns this specific implementation.
