Sure perfection is different from okay, but the human 'okay' is also much much beyond what we can do algorithmically, at least as far as we've discovered. That is at least evidence in favor of the uncomputable mind.

And you might be correct that a human in the loop approach could crack RSA better than algorithmic approach, I've given it a shot in the past. There was a slight correlation of better answers with human involvement. Not entirely unexpected since our method of generating RSA primes has to be computable in a tractable time frame, so there is probably some exploitable regularity in the generation scheme that a super computational process could assist in identifying.
