For the bard in the party: ‘Sharp’ plans are those that are so unlikely to actually work, that if they do, there will be stories told about them for the ages. ‘Blunt’ plans are grinding in the mines. Nobody writes ballads about grinding in the mines. Obviously if you are an elvish freakin’ bard, whose job is to improvise the next token, you want to follow sharp plans; or at least follow the tweets and warbles of the sharp plans’ authors and mimic them like the liar-bird you are. But if you are a proper dwarf-lord who updates your weights with every blow of the mattock, you will take the blunt plan every time, boring away until it bores you into delving too deep.
