Judea Pearl has been talking about this gap like forever now. According to him, causal modeling is the missing piece. I do believe it is a serious step up (i mean, does it take a model to look at 350GB of text to have that presented conversation?) .. however I don't know enough to know whether that is enough.

(Reading TheBookOfNow and Causality in parallel)
