Could be totally wrong in the database that's why

It's still "right" technically. The results are accurately reflecting
the actual contents of the database at a definite point in time.
That's all integrity asks for. Returning results that were never
correct just because of bad hashing algorithms is something completely
different. It's the difference between your stock ticker being five
minutes outdated, and generating entirely random numbers sometimes.
To say there's no difference, or that the former makes the latter
okay, is ridiculous.
