Whenever a conversation goes too far or too deep, it goes down the “rabbit hole.” I’ve heard “Rat hole” recently, but that’s just laziness. The Rabbit hole trope has been used since the mid-1800s, and it’s time to retire it. In mixed audiences of generalists and specialists or mixed-levels (such as Executives and Individual contributors), there is value in keeping a subject to a higher level. There are also appropriate times to “geek out.” Either way, save the bunnies.
Learning: Keep rabbits out of it.
