On: What is the point of a public key fingerprint?

I think you misunderstood:

This is if you compare two hashes and they look really similar but you want to be really sure.

Of course a real equality check is better but visual check of original hash + this is better than visual check alone.

Ah, thanks. Yes, I did not understand this properly.
