The answer to my question is either "Yes, it can be explained in layman's terms." or "No, it cannot be so explained.". None of the responses directly answered my question; but I was able to derive an answer from them by using my judgement to assess their success in explaining the algorithm description in layman's terms. (I haven't stated which answered I concluded. Nor will I.) But even if you had been judging the right question; your conclusion whilst not wrong, needn't be the same as mine! Thus nothing you have to say has any relevance to me; or this thread. So I marked my question as answered to save anyone else from expending effort in the thread. Unfortunately, people always want to get their oar in...and now we get this mess. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity. In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]
