At work I am a member of a project that does not have project manager at the moment
I want to tell my department manager that we are not on the right path and we are lost.
I am not sure if the term "It is like we are shooting blindly" is a proper English expression that fits this situation
is ...
the word dense contains two apparently contradictory definitions: 1. stupid; slow-witted; dull; 2. difficult to understand because of being closely packed with ideas or complexities of style.

@tchrist neither German nor Russian even have the I version in the first place. And good on them. Fuck Ancient Greek. If you want to speak Ancient Greek, speak Ancient Greek. If you want to speak English, well, speak English then.
Just look at Cerberus. This is what happens to you when you speak Ancient Greek.
Maybe even more to the point, if you speak Ancient Greek, you will actually die.
But seriously, that second one, 'dense' can be -used- in that situation ('densely packed -with information-) but the context has to be specified. i.e. 'He is dense' means only one thing, he is stupid. It can't mean by itself that 'he contains multitudes of ideas'.
Oh... just looked at your Free Dictionary link. Hm... I suppose, but the wording there seems to imply muddledness.
I am getting annoyed with dictionaries that add meaning entries for uses that are metaphorical that aren't sort of essential meanings of the word (like this one of 'dense').
