Well, both the cognitive scientists and linguists seem very doubtful we can apply this model to human cognition and yield much of value, so I'd say the idea that this model can yield behavior analogous to human cognition without other mechanisms seems rather far-fetched. Of course, we should absolutely pursue better understanding of both as to not throw the baby out with the bath water, but I'm not personally placing much hope in finding AGI any time soon.
