I agree in spirit, but I no longer believe that anyone can necessarily learn programming, maybe because some of those other elements are missing. That's just based on witnessing people who don't seem to be able reason though even the smallest unit of logic expressed in visual form. I believe that most people probably can though to some extent

"Programming" as a technique of problem solving can be taught and learnt by anybody just like Mathematics. Now whether they will become good at it depends on various other characteristics like Interest, Aptitude, Effort and Persistence. There is no inherent limiting factor since it is a function of "General Intelligence" which all of us "Normal" folks are imbued with.
