It's thrown out in discussion whenever a completely nonsensical
argument in one's favor(?) is called for, I.E. at the end of a really
long thread for which the outcome is no longer even cared about since
everyone is now so sick of it or in rebuttal to another nonsensical
argument ("Change the loader to look for /kernel.pl? What about fairings?").
