There is. Precise thinking does not instantly reveal the truth, it just makes your assumptions and possibilities explicit.
For example see Hanson's The age of em, or Grabby aliens. Both talk about hypothetical futures, but all the assumptions are known and you can judge if they are plausible and thus judge if the idea is good.
Sloppy thinking is babbling associations and archetypal ideas, without the way to judge it.
