I don't take offense at your examples.  I don't even take offense at
your excessive ad hominem attacks; to take offense, I would have to
concede that you have the standing from which to make them.  I have
not done so.

As I said, your example was simply incorrect.  Quicksort is O(n log n)
in the average case and O(n^2) in the worst case.  Bubble sort is
always O(n^2).  So, barring the inherent random variances in a small
sample set, bubble sort will not be faster than quicksort, even for
small data sets.  Feel free to consult
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm for the particulars.
