unresearched
Lacking any inquiry
Unresearched describes something that has not been investigated or studied.
A topic may be unresearched because no one has yet examined it, or a claim may be unresearched because the person making it hasn't bothered to verify the facts.
The article was full of unresearched assertions.
The term often carries a note of criticism, suggesting negligence or laziness rather than simply a gap in existing knowledge.
