Can someone please explain why these token guessing models aren't being combined with logic "filters?"

I remember when computers were lauded for being precise tools.

1. Because no one knows how to do it. 2. Consider (a) a tool that can apply precise methods when they exist, and (b) a tool that can do that and can also imperfectly solve problems that lack precise solutions. Which is more powerful?
