Yes, but as you note, "in the size of the program" and the size of {the program that solves 3-SAT in polynomial time if there is one} is a constant, so it's all constant.

Of course, that constant is astronomically unpractical.

I like the term "Galactic Algorithm" for these algorithms with unpractical constants.
