The burning bridges thing is often far underrated. Caesar burned the bridge back to Rome on passing over the Rubicon. That is the origin of the metaphor. The metaphor originally was the act. Caesar said, when burning the bridge, "iactum est", which means "the die is cast", using his own metaphor. In the Vulgate version of the New Testament, Christ also says "iactum est", which has been translated "it is finished". Sometimes a clear decision is much better than a waffling decision to accommodate the "hoi polloi". Oops, that's Greek.
