In the areas where they were successful, these methods _were_ infallible (of course, compared to humans and modulo programming bugs). Meanwhile, neural techniques have flown under the public consciousness radar until relatively recent times, when they had a huge explosion in popularity. But the term "AI" had retained that old aura of superhuman precision and correctness.
