> Yes. Completely wrong. Not even close.

Per Apple:

    Instead of scanning images in the cloud, the system performs on-device
    matching using a database of known CSAM image hashes 

Recapping here. In your estimation:

     known hashes would be stored on devices
     and images would be scanned against that.

Is not even close to

    the system performs on-device
    matching using a database of known hashes

. And folks who read the latter and thought the former were, in your view, "Completely wrong".

Well, okay then.
