Statistical methods do have an important role to play in urban design and architectural studies nevertheless, superficial understanding and misleading application of these methods, mainly in the realm of students' research and dissertations, have raised a serious concern in recent years. It appears that too much emphasis on statistical concepts and tests in the mentioned studies is partly due to the "Commodification of research", i.e. the transformation of research and ideas into a commodity, and a need for an accelerated production process to save time and budget. The poor quality of these so-called pieces of research, mainly coated with a thick quasi-statistical layer, necessitates further deliberation about the issue. This article deals with the challenge of excessive use of quantitative and statistical methods in studies as a phenomenon labeled here as "Statistical Toxification Syndrome". The paper aims to define the syndrome, so as to be used as a research pathological tool, to identify its pertaining dimensions and to hopefully explain the causes through formulation of some workable hypotheses. In doing so, a descriptive research method has been employed for depicting the author's lived-experiences and an analytical research method has been used to argue the theoretical points. The findings indicate that the Statistical Toxification could be diagnosed as a certain research syndrome consisting of two distinctive yet interrelated dimensions namely "statistical enchantment" and "statistical superficiality". The statistical enchantment refers to a mindset being enchanted by statistical concepts and being over-fascinated by quantitative techniques. This also could be referred to as digital fetishism or statistical fetishism. The statistical superficiality refers to a shallow and partial understanding of valid quantitative studies' imperatives and also to the careless manipulation of statistical tests. The statistical superficiality is deeply rooted in the naïve "scientism" and a wrong belief in the possibility of transforming "Soft science" into "Hard science" by means of appealing to numbers and mathematics as a most solid foundation. Finally, the study concludes a need for the disenchantment of statistical enchantment and warns against the overwhelming application of so-called quantitative research within the realm of human sciences including architecture and urban design.
