Here is some more discussion that may clarify the issues.

When I said "idea," I didn't mean something that wasn't fully developed. I meant something abstract and not concrete. Mathematical algorithms are inherently abstract, and the courts have tended to rule that abstractions can't be patented. Nevertheless, patents have been granted that, in effect, patent a mathematical algorithm.
