stats theoretically are important. However the problem is is that most people dont understand the true extent of variance and the sample size needed to make variance minuscule. And even once you have a good enough sample size then you have to take into account that over that sample your game has probably changed a lot so the individual stats aren't all that important.

This isn't a discussion of whehther or not individual stats are important. The point is: I stand to benefit by looking deeper into my game than if I sit by and say "oh, that's just variance, it probably doesn't matter." If you want to chalk up possible problematic areas in your game as "variance," I guess I really can't convince you otherwise.
