Writing about facts is not trivial! You have to flatten the dependency graph between the facts in a way that helps understanding, select what to include or omit, find metaphors sometimes, etc. Some of these require finding new insights about the facts. You cannot just "list" facts if you want to help the reader to understand. You also don't need dramatic stories, though memorable examples help.
