You prefer to concentrate on the theoretical side, that's
understandable. In the ideal world this should work - you devise the
theory and let others implement it.

Unfortunately the world does not look to be so ideal, which is bad
news if you are right and which is good news if you are wrong about
your algorithm.

So, regardless of how you feel about our idea and whether you like the
engineering part or not - if you want to impress the people and earn
the respect, it look like you really need to do this engineering step.
It may be hard for you but would bring you great benefits if you
succeed and *show* that your algorithm works. It's a good investment
of time and effort.

While theoretical discussions may be what you more like, but it is
definitely the hardest and longest way you could take to earn respect.
It is a bad investment of time, effort and nerves, in my opinion.

The choice is yours.
