[edit] Bulletproof algorithm

Neologism with self-evident meaning. The term is allegedly "often applied", but according to Google only in this article and Wikipedia mirrors. The extra commentary about robustness can easily be incorporated into Algorithm without inventing a term for it. Fredrik | talk 02:31, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

• It's in the Jargon File, so move to bulletproof (software). Algorithms are either correct or they're not. Gazpacho 02:48, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to algorithm
• Delete, algorithm doesn't have such property. Nothing useful to merge with Algorithm, IMO. Pavel Vozenilek 18:14, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete lacks verifiability because the article is just plain wrong: it confuses the algorithm with the implementation (code). Bulletproof can be applied to the latter but not the former. Robert A West 21:01, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
