I am *not* forgetting about the other cases. I am trying to restrict
this part of the discussion on *one* case were everybody might agree.

Accepting/rejecting the use of some idiom in one case does not mean anything
about any other case. If I accept a hammer as a useful tool to drive a nails
it does not mean I have to accept it as a useful tool to clean clothes.
