Dismissing companions resets their stats?

[Rosveen]

I wanted to know how much time each of them spent with me and their damage numbers, but it seems everything goes back to 0 when I dismiss them. Aloth was with me from the beginning of the game, I left him in the stronghold for one mission and now it's like he's brand new to the team... Anyone else finds this mildly irritating?

 

edit: I just realized the title can be misleading. I didn't mean attributes etc., of course, just personal statistics.

Its a good way to try out and see how other weapons do DPS since i have 3 identical skilled ranged chanters.

But yeah I would like to see a TOTAL statistic behind the normal number inside () for example.

One time I picked up Aloth after dropping off at the Stronghold and he had 11 slots for his first level spells, which I found odd and useful at the same time.
