Sloppiness在生物学领域最为普遍，但在其它领域也并不缺席。从昆虫飞行模型，到原子间势，再到加速器设计，许多目前常用的模型都是sloppy的。例如，量子蒙特卡洛是求解原子和小分子的能量和量子行为的最精确的工具；然而，赛勒斯·乌姆里加（Cyrus Umrigar）在这种方法基础上建立的非常精确的变分波函数却是极度sloppy（b列）。

Sloppy模型有着多种形式，每个模型的sloppniess的原因并不完全相同，部分系统的sloppiness的原因可以从数学上进行分析。但是不同系统的sloppiniess具体原因仍然极具复杂性<ref>10.  [https://sethna.lassp.cornell.edu/pubPDF/Vandermonde.pdf "Sloppy model universality class and the Vandermonde matrix"], Joshua J.
