What happens if you propose an algorithm that nobody understands ? Folks might say that your algorithm is silly. Don't be sad. It could be possible that folks are not capable enough to understand what you meant. Your algorithm could be explained even after your death.
Physicist J. W. Gibbs has similar story. He proposed Gibbs sampling but nobody could describe the algorithm for more than eight decades. Here is a paragraph from Wikipedia regarding Gibbs sampling:
"Gibbs sampling is an example of a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. The algorithm is named after the physicist J. W. Gibbs, in reference to an analogy between thesampling algorithm and statistical physics. The algorithm was described by brothers Stuart and Donald Geman in 1984, some eight decades after the passing of Gibbs."
So conclusion here is not to be sad even though people do not understand you and your idea now. They'll understand after years and years of your death !
