You don't really conserve anything though, you can't reverse that hash back into the original string. It might look unique and do the job, but it is still bounded by limits and theoretically two different strings can produce the same hash even though the chance is extremely slim. It's all maths and pattern jumbling adding/subtracting things into unrecognizable mess.
