:::If what you said was true, modern computer science would collapse. Even if you don't believe me, you have to concede that the mere fact you ''can'' sort 65536 things before the heat death of the universe is proof that you did the math wrong.

β | ::1) I think you might be confused on how math works. n! refers to factorial (1*2*3...n) | + | ::1) I think you might be confused on how math works. n! refers to factorial (1*2*3...n) while n log n is the n multiply logarithm n. |
::2) Didn't read all of the rambling, but it seems like you believe a list can only be sorted by brute-force, going over each item and comparing it to the rest of the list. This would in fact be n!. Most sorting algorithms do not use the brute force method since humans are built to recognize patterns and come up with algorithms regarding those patterns.
