I can just see numbers.

Until someone runs the numbers you don't know for sure the strength of the association

With vastly more complex statistics you can rule out other causes

Basically in a nutshell it took the research of medical statistics to convince health professionals, politicians and the public to actively encourage people to quit and to make it harder for big tobacco to peddle their carcinogens
 
Have you got the statistics of the difference the knowing would have made, I'm an addict and I'm getting pretty good odds.
 
People thought the earth was flat till somebody proved it wasn't. Stats didn't tell us smoking was unsafe doctors and scientists did. Unless you're rather strangely trying to claim research and gained knowledge is statistics if you are you might as well say anything is a statistic.

That is exactly how quantitative research works, statistics and analysis of data.
