Telling us things more precisely is literally the value of science. In baseball, specifically, it's worth millions of dollars to ball clubs.
Compare with weather forecasting. "I knew it was going to rain today because I walked outside and water was beginning to fall out of the sky" is not as useful as "Data suggest it's going to rain three days from now because we're tracking a developing warm front."
