Have you ever read the famous quantum physicist, Heisenberg (a contemporary
of Heidegger's)? In his thinking, there exists a certain vagueness in the
observable world itself... and I can not but better go with his thinking
than yours on this matter. In any case, the notion that the "objective"
world is utterly clear and distinct (not vague) is itself an article of
faith, a way of comporting oneself towards the world in order to better sift
through it (control it), a way of saying that the only things worth calling
a thing are those that are not vague; but where does this notion of
convenience come from? Not the world! I.e., why should the things of the
world be non-vague?
