Default Analyzing Hand Histories

Can some successful players on this forum lend tips as to how exactly a player is to make sense of all those numbers in a hand history grabber/software? It doesn't seem to be of much use when tracking other players (when you are not playing on the table yourself). All it does is give you percentage figures that are obscure. Many of these figures are probably useless too!

Phil Gordon wrote that "...poker is a game of situations, and CANNOT be played by the book." The more I play poker the more I realize this is true, so what use is there for all this hand history data? The pros never use it on TV obviously. I think a player should be observing his/her opponents ANEW every session. Am I wrong?

If there are any SUCCESSFUL players here who make use of hand history data PLEASE lend some insight!

I use this software to get a sense of where I am in terms of the major stats--if you're aggression is 7.8, that's something to think about, yet I'm sure that would've been apparent in play. I don't think it's good to try to tailor your play around the demands of PT.
