If it's the same thread I am remembering, they wanted to achieve
complete identity of images given a defined set of source files.
That is impossible, in my opinion, due to the nondeterministic behavior
of some of the processes in an image.
The binary diff requirement is much weaker - for it to be satisfied, it
suffices if the diff is significantly smaller than either of the two
images being compared.
