One quibble is in the parsing example, the constant is inherent in the distribution of input data one expects to normally encounter, rather than in the algorithm itself. It's sort of like saying dictionary access (based on hashing) is O(1), based on the variety of input data that is normally used. There is such a thing as pathological (e.g. malicious) input data that causes a lot of hash collisions, making O(n) access in the size of the dictionary. I suppose abnormal input should also be taken into account in examples involving parsing if one parses potentially hostile data.
