What this field really needs is a massive push. The reason it always fail to deliver is that the incentive system is screwed. We need something like a Manhattan project capital allocation to a few very talented people to make progress. Building endless frameworks and trying to get thousands of people to cooperate on high level decision making dooms the whole endeavor. The risk for product development is too high for private industry to take and academia can't deliver products.
