I do exactly this kind of thing for my day job. In short: reading a syntactic description of an algorithm written in assembly language is not the equivalent of understanding what you've just read, which in turn is not the equivalent of having a concise and comprehensible logical representation of what you've just read, which in turn is not the equivalent of understanding the principles according to which the logical system thus described will behave when given various kinds of input.
