wooliness

Lacking sharp definition

Wooliness is the quality of being woolly—soft, fluffy, or resembling wool in texture.

More often, it describes thinking or expression that lacks clarity or precision: The wooliness of his argument frustrated everyone.

Woolly ideas are vague, unfocused, or insufficiently rigorous.
