   This has been discussed at great length. You can jump into   
   one previous discussion at   
   http://mathforum.org/kb/thread.jspa?forumID=13&threadID=106300&m

   or use google to find other discussions.  A true algorithm cannot depend   
   on obtaining results from computations that are (sometimes) undecidable.
