Heuristic is an adjective, not a noun
Disturbing. I even looked this up in dictionary.com and it confirms your view.
However (as dictionary.com also shows), in software development/CompSci heuristic is commonly used as a noun (almost a synonym for algorithm)
so much so that it hurts my head to think of it as an adjective :P
