Imposing a norm would add a lot to the effort involved in conversation. Every time you thought about engaging, you'd know you'd risk having to figure out a conclusion. This might or might not be a net win for signal to noise.
Sometimes it takes quite a while to figure out what the actual issues are when new ideas are being explored.
Instead of a norm requiring explicit conclusions, I recommend giving significant credit when they're achieved.
