I think the issue is the filter is based on the specific algorithms and not that problem solving ability.
There seems to be more emphasis on "the candidate knew to use bubble sort" or something stupid like that instead of "I observed this candidate reason through the problem and I don't really care that they didn't know a canned algorithm".
