What makes a thesis statement good?

We have talked about thesis statements throughout the semester in different contexts. What I'd like to do with this post is start brainstorming some of the qualities that a good thesis possesses. So, what are some?

I'll get the ball rolling:
A good thesis should be detailed enough to be worth arguing. "Most cats have fur," for instance, is not a detailed enough thesis.

Other qualities? Please reply in the comments section.
