But just describing the intention is not pseudo code. Pseudo code as I understand it is for describing what the actual implementation do and often describe before you implement.
The problem with this kind of pseudo code is that you have duplicated the information. If there is a mismatch you do not know if the pseudo code or the code is correct if both are working according to the interface specification.
