Research wouldn't be necessary if we knew beforehand what we needed to look for. Granted, it doesn't help to glue things together indiscriminately, but I doubt that is that OpenCog is doing.
Someone has to try this and if their idea doesn't work, I will bet good money that they'll stumble upon other interesting results (if they keep going).

AGI currently needs research at fundamentals, at the theoretical foundations of it. It hasn't been reduced to an engineering problem yet.
