Re: 2011 Game Hint #1

We need to come up with a new platitude because "beating a dead horse" is incorrect to describe what has been going on.

It refers to the fact that you can't make a dead horse move no matter how hard you beat it or an idea that has no merit or chance of moving forward will not move forward no matter how many times you bring it up.

It has nothing to do with repeating the same thing fact and over again.

Thoughts?

for example:

That kid who keeps saying that herding is a winning strategy in Overdrive over and over again even though your team had decided it isn't is "beating a dead horse."
