It's possible to be precise about generalities (good philosophy), and it's possible to be precise about specifics (good measurement, good planning).
For example:
| Specific | General | |
| Precise | Good measurement, solid observation, good planning | Good philosophy |
| Vague | Stuff that's plain wrong. | Getting lost in abstraction |
Or:
| Specific | General | |
| Precise | Good logic, good mathematics | Detail |
| Vague | Error | Equivocation |
