You think that's a good description?

"Something is partially explained by a combination of numbers"?

That says nothing semantic of value. Better to exaggerate the causal relationship and give a sense of meaning than offer meaningless generics like that, because at least the general reader intuits a sense of the universe of the relationship. The above implies nothing.
