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."
Perhaps maybe groundhogging? Reading the exact same posts everyday do to the repeating of previous posts.

This is the downfall of having only 1 official hint. Come on hint 2. We still have 5 days to get that post up to 700+. Or maybe we should just get this thread up to 1000+ just for fun.
