sweepingness
Quality of comprehensiveness
Sweepingness is the quality of being sweeping in scope, range, or effect.
It characterizes statements, changes, or actions that are broad, comprehensive, or far-reaching rather than narrow or limited.
The sweepingness of the new policy alarmed even its supporters.
The word often carries a slightly critical edge, suggesting that something may be too broad or insufficiently nuanced.
