Well, not all stats will have to be used for numerical calculation -
text stats will be useful for descriptions of facets of a characters
that can't be quatified into a 1d number. 

I think it's a nice idea to include these descriptions in the
hieriarchy. That would make even those relunctant to write a
description put some text on their character sheets.
