I do not disagree. The point is that 'ackermann' is not suitable
because it doesn't accept a wide enough set of inputs.

The following function is does:

int add(int a, int b, int c, int d, int e, int f) {
  return a + b + c + d + e + f;
}

Of course this function is no good either, because
it would execute too quickly.
