I think the important thing here is the difference between understanding complexity and implementing a sorting algorithm.

If I were hiring a carpenter I would want to know they understand their tools and when to use them. I don't care if they don't know how to make them. But of course knowing how to make them suggests an intimate appreciation for the craft (looking your way Matthias Wandel)

The flip side would be asking a carpenter to do trigonometry problems or something... Anyway, what's most important is measure twice and cut once. That and following a blueprint and going the extra mile.
