Trying to stop fraud on a platform meant for migrants is absolutely a 'hard problem'. Just trying to get the app out there for people to use is a 'hard problem'. So it's mostly definitely 'hard' , just no in the bounded way puzzles are presented in classrooms. Where I find it gets bad is in technical conditions wherein people are used to competing on these terms aka 'who is the smartest'. If find people end up arguing over the wrong things, and of course 'bike shedding'. If the problem is framed in terms of outcomes, then it's harder bike-shed or wax philosophic because those activities are more or less exposed as having less relevance.
