If you can easily deduce the pre-images that make the last bit of the hash even or odd, then you've just cut your search space for collisions by half. The real killer is that you can do this without knowing what the secret is. Our entire scheme is dependent on using the secret to defeat would-be attackers. If CRC does not make effective use of the secret, then we're essentially naked against attackers.
