George Pólya would disagree. Problem solving does not qualify as strictly algorithmic, because it describes an approach to defining and attacking problems combined with domain expertise and experience rather than a series of steps to apply to every problem. But a person can learn problem solving skills and practice to get better at it. I don't see the moral issue. Determining if someone performs better or worse at a task necessary for a job means making a practical decision, not a moral judgment.
