It's curious because where do you draw the line between an algorithm that compresses information and an algorithm that just stores the inforamtion in the algorithm.

[bobsmooth → donkarma]

Kolmogorov complexity is a good place to start.

You can't "store the information in the algorithm" unless you write the algorithm after knowing the data.
