I think language is the key to AI and thus Symbolic reasoning is. I wouldn't call someone intelligent who can not explain how they arrive at certain conclusions. They might be correct and useful conclusions but if you or the neural network can not communicate to others how they come to their conclusions their knowledge can not be shared with others. If it can not be shared by means of some kind of language which explains its reasoning based on logical primitives, we don't really call it intelligent, do we.
We don't call a person or machine intelligent if they can't explain their reasoning. We don't really trust answers without learning the rationale behind them. And isn't this what is happening with some neural networks, they usually give more or less correct answer but sometimes, can give a totally wrong answer too. Not really trustworthy because the logic behind the answers is simply not there.
