See, that is, where YOUR problem ( :-) already starts. I found the
original "definition" of an algorithm you quoted already deficient in
this respect. Actually I wonder, wether that should not have read (if
we want to keep something from the original approach at all):
When you write a general solution for a problem, as opposed to a
specific answer to a specific question, you have written an
algorithm.
