Understanding the algs is useful for commutators, blindfolded, beginners-methods, etc. But for PLL you just recognize and execute. No reason to understand the algs. UNLESS..... you mess-up/drop the cube (especially one-handed) and need to continue half-way in the alg.
Hmm, well I still think that is not understanding the alg. I know what the cube looks like after like 4 turns of an algorithm but I don't understand it, I do understand commutators. I can tell at each move what and why I'm doing that...
Erik, please don't misunderstand me. I think there is no need to understand PLL algs. It is useful to KNOW (not understand) the flow of some pieces in case of pops, drops and other problems.
It is not just knowing where pieces go, but how what you have destroyed is brought back together- I didn't mean that that was all you needed to understand.
Some of the algs on the Ortega page are wrong and completely mess up the cube. Does anyone have all the algs written down properly?
