Let the sha256sum program be a box of test strips that indicate
presence of poison.

Let the files you provide the sha256sum program be a beverage.

If a single test indicated poison, my first thought would not be,
"Maybe the test strips are defective".

And if *repeated* tests indicated poison, and did so consistently, my
first thought would not *definitely* not be, "Maybe the test strips
are defective".

It is admittedly an imperfectly simplified analogy, but I think my
point ought to be clear enough.
