It may be related to how you can use hedges instead of fences on land, and therefore tangentially related to "fence sitting" as a term.

Though I've never heard of a "hedge sitter" or "hedge sitting".

And don't ask me why we have so many words for preety much the same thing.

However Flailing is probably among the more specific of them where it likely refers to someone under pressue and they either concede things too quickly or give out a bunch of suggestions as if they're panicking.

Waffling might be a bit more specific if someone puts a significant amount of effort into trying to read someone only to come up with nothing, where as fence-sitting and hedging aren't related to level of effort I think.
