There's not always "the computed hash". Sometimes only partial
computation is done - just enough to find out that the password does not
match any of the loaded hashes.

Yes, it sounds like you did not realize the above, whereas it's a reason

Yes, and as I said this is not always possible at all (unless you
actually add code to fully compute all hashes no matter what).
On the other hand, for many formats this is in fact possible and even
trivial to do.
