> Running any (halting) algorithm on a human computer is constant time, because you're bound by the number of states you can fit into some terabytes, but nobody should actually try to use that as a final analysis.

That's the sort of thing I would usually say to explain why we do things like use asymptomatic analysis and ignore polynomial factors. If you have a different solution, that's great, but you're no longer taking about the kind of runtime the article is about.
