Sure, you _can_. But if the key's hash changes between dict insertion
and retrieval, all manner of invariants will break, and likewise if
two equal objects have different hashes. From which you can deduce
logically that any object used as a key must remain (not) equal to
everything that it was (not) equal to from that time until it is
looked up... which basically means its value mustn't change. It must
be immutable.
