First, that applies to equals and hashCode and to == and 
identityHashCode, but not to equals and identityHashCode.

Second, it means that objects that are the same must have the same hash 
code, but not the other way around. Different objects are allowed to 
have the same hash code.

If it included the identity hash code, it would have to be consistent 
with ==.
