I don't mean to be mean, but people who don't know basic algebra are unlikely to be making algorithmic breakthroughs.

The parent comment probably meant that students would learn how to derive the necessary algorithm from the problem description, rather than memorizing a bunch of rote algorithms without being able to disassemble and reassemble them.
