The article lays out exactly why you'd want small sizes, even with the risks. The good qualifier just means that it'd have to be no riskier than any other algorithm at the same length.
replyI agree? That doesn't affect what I said. You shouldn't make a one-size-fits-all function that scales that small. It should have to be a deliberate choice to switch from normal mode to small mode, and anyone that hasn't looked into it deeper shouldn't even know about the small mode.
