Of course physicists try to get at the essential characteristics of a system
and try to describe even complex systems in simple terms. Not biologists.

Mattheus,
You are showing some misunderstanding of the use of statistics. A few
observations.
1. If your results are so glaringly obvious, then the question was
probably not very interesting, or a logical consequence of the methods.
2. Questions that are not so simple need statistics to disco
