everyone reads "keep doing it until it stops working" and then read it as "keep doing it until you, eh, I guess feel like stopping, or whatever, you can just get off this ride whenever man" and you can but a lot of stuff is a hill-climb beyond where most people quit
Slight tangent but one of the most useful things I learned as a result of De Bono's "Lateral Thinking" book is how much of the best stuff you come up with after you thought you've run out of ideas and kept going anyway.

I think often a properly implemented "Keep going until it stops working" doesn't stop when it's stopped working, it stops when you can't figure out a way to keep going.
