A THOUGHT(?) ABOUT DEK'S ARGUMENTS FOR EFFICIENCY

He is only able to talk about efficiency  of implementations
AFTER he understands the algorithm. My claim is that
we must develop a foundation for c.s., perhaps not as presumptions
as that of mathematics, in which we can discuss algorithms for data
structures. mathematician were able to talk intelligently about
algorithms before the advent of machines and implementations.
we should be able to do the same for structured objects.
