I say keep it as it is, but add an explanation: If you're asking a
question, it's presumably because you don't know how to answer it. If you
don't know how to answer it, you don't know whether the details that you're
obfuscating are relevant to answering the question. Sometimes, questions
can't be answered because relevant information is obfuscated.
Also, there's a middle way. Replace the quantifiers with vague quantifiers
such as "some", instead of trying to measure the amount.
