In the appendix of The Ghost in the Machine (1967 Koestler) is a
prediction that academics would say of this thesis — "Mr Koestler, I
am afraid, is flogging a dead horse" and he inferred the existence of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dead Horses (SPCDH) who
were on a mission to discourage in depth discussion of fine points
and in general to prevent the flogging of dead horses.
I hope my sometimes facetious commentary brings laughter rather than
annoyance.
