Sorry. I apologize for being abstruse. I was attempting to inject humor but failed. There is a saying, "It does no good to flog (i.e., beat) a dead horse". It refers to the futility of whipping a dead horse because no further work can be gotten out of the animal. Sometimes the saying is used to indicate a topic has been exhaustively discussed and further discussion will not result in useful work being accomplished.
