Well ya because the only thing that you could possibly quantify about a fight is that it happened and maybe who won. There is a 100 different variables that could go into a fight that would determine it's affect.
Just because stats don't have the capacity to understand those affects doesn't mean they're not there. Just such a logical fallacy haha.
