A polynomial algorithm implies that the problem is not NP-Complete only if you assume that P != NP for which see P versus NP.
However, the important point that a known polynomial algorithm is more clearly bounded that a NP-Complete algorithm is fair enough.

Nice observation ;-) Probably I am disappointed by the enthusiasm followed by total failure of P == NP proof published by Vinay Deolalikar and thus I am assuming P != NP.
Btw. now, when there is an expert reviewing my proof, I share my only worry: What if, in the process of replacing dependencies by transitive dependencies, the amount of dependencies is increased to 2n? That would just replace an NP-Complete problem with polynomial problem of exponential size...
