Once you move outside of academia and thesis, it isn't the algorithm, but the implementation that is important. A mergesort programmed badly can be much slower than a bubble sort done well. And once you recognise that in the real world, implementation is king, any kind of disk based sort is glacial compared to a memory-based hash. It isn't the similarities, but the differences that are important. A stately home and a plane both have wings, windows and seats, but the differences outweigh those similarities for most practical considerations. 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.
