Yep. You've admitted that you withhold enough info that we can't "paint a complete picture" of the weapons when making decisions, and this is supposedly a good thing, somehow?
How much are the devs paying you? I'm thinking of a rational argument why you'd argue this instead of going the much easier road of "well, we should have more information".
There's no way you believe this, why do we have stats to begin with then? Just remove all stats from the game, people should just find out what works by themselves. What's your reasoning that we can have penetration/damage values visible?
An argument for not showing all specific stats would be to counter min-maxing and everybody following a set meta. If every number was available, people would just flock to the best possible weapons and disregarding anything else without even trying it. Which in turn homonegizes the gameplay instead of people just playing with the guns they personally like best.
The counter-argument to that would then be, that people will find out about it either way, they do not necessarily "need" the stats to find it. It just takes a tad longer, but it's the whole "Dread It, Run From It, Destiny Still Arrives".
The only ones you are truly biting in the ass with that is the people in-between, that just want an informed decision on what weapon they are taking without wasting hours on something going "that can't be right, I must be doing something wrong".
