No, you don't.

First, no one promised you "hard numbers" when you bought the game, so there's no contractual obligation to provide them to you. Furthermore, most computer games not only don't give you the "hard numbers" but also alter those numbers when they see fit.

Second, discovering how things work, and using those discoveries to figure out how to accomplish stuff, is part of the fun of the game for a lot of players. And those players have made their discoveries known, as a little time searching the web would have revealed to you.

Last, real life is no different. There's no detailed manual. So get used to it.
