Information on reality produced loose statement (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

generality

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'loose statement' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'information on reality produced' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'gen' (gen can informally mean information).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'produced' is an anagram indicator.
'reality' anagrammed gives 'erality'.
'gen'+'erality'='GENERALITY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for generality that I've seen is " Lack of detail".)
