As I said, and was somewhat dubiously annotated by Matt, even if you don't have statistics you'd be wise to pick it up rather quickly. I don't very much get the discussion over belief or not, if it represents a belief so what, did anyone say beliefs are incompatible with artificial intelligence? If it is not a belief, did someone claim beliefs are necessary?
The technical issues surrounding statistics, symbols, production systems and their intersection are under constant investigation and innovation therefore yes, I expect more and more AGI goodies to come out of them. I think I have already stated about 20 times "in print" that most no one has attempted a really ambitious general synthesis (assuming complete architectures like OpenCog don't count as mere synthesis). It's the kind of thing you'd rather do on big hardware anyway, even though I am working on a BOINC like concept.
