My explanation of Kaz's meaning is by way of a parallel. Consider an algorithm for filling a bucket with water: Step 1: place the bucket under the tap Step 2: turn the tap on Step 3: monitor the flow of water Step 4: when the bucket is full, turn off the tap At no stage does the algorithm say "ensure that the ambient temperature and pressure are such that the water is in liquid form" or "ensure that gravity is working" or "ensure that your bucket has no holes except the one for allowing water in at the top", but we may safely deduce these facts from the context, and anyone who needs these conditions to be spelled out may experience self-esteem challenges when their IQ is compared to that of a brick.
