Would it not be worthwhile to see the purpose of OR/MS and AI in the design of ‘cognition support systems’?

The sophistication of such new kind of OR/MS and AI would be measured in its subjectively perceived cognition support-instead of mathematical elegance. Even if no final working concept of cognition support systems can as yet be offered, why do not large parties of the OR/MS community try to develop concepts and frames for such systems?
