You're right.  What I meant was that there are problems (not complexity class 
decision problems) that can be defined as taking NP time (like O^n time) and 
which would not be reducible to P-time even if the NP-Complete Problems are.  
So even if NP-Complete problems can be solved in P-Time, you will still have 
some problems that cannot be solved in P-Time.

so if it were calculatable in polynomial time, then P = NP.
