Facts
Two things about facts, as interesting as the fact itself.
1. How the fact was discovered and compiled.
2. The reason for the fact.
Facts on their own provide little value. The value is found in the reason for the fact. Once you start unpacking the sociological reason or mathematical reason or whatever the reason behind the fact is, that's where the value and insights are. That's where you can make some substantial assumptions and statements and ultimately applications.

The "what" of something is only useful in that it allows to examine the "why".
