I don't think this is being questioned in general right now, but rather the claim is:
You can't get a very good statistical approximation to knowing and reasoning via _just analyzing the language_.
Language is evidently not enough on its own [1]. According to some researchers [2], the system needs to be "grounded" (think of it as being given common sense). Although there's apparently no consensus [3] among scientists on how to _fundamentally_ solve the shortcomings of current systems.
