Is there a single word to describe someone who disregards the fine details of something and only focuses on what they believe is the bigger picture? I'm looking for a pejorative connotation similar to "pedantic" which is the inverse: focusing on small details while ignoring the bigger picture.
I've tried searching here, Google, and Reddit but couldn't find anything specifically about this. I considered "ignorant", "didactic", but those are not quite right.
In some circumstances you could use sciolist.
Your Dictionary
sciolist:
One who exhibits only superficial knowledge; a self-proclaimed expert with little real understanding.
similarly:
Collins
sciolism
the practice of opinionating on subjects of which one has only superficial knowledge
Because these definitions involve superficial, they have negative connotations.
For example:
Cambridge
superficial:
If something written or said is superficial, it does not show any real understanding of the subject and does not include many details
