"Drilling down" is a fairly standard term in the database
industry, where "database mining" has become a hot topic
over the past few years. It's a reasonable metaphor given that
you sometimes really are drilling through tons of dross to get
to the few nuggets of gold buried therein.

"Perhaps there is something deep and profound behind all those sevens,
something just calling out for us to discover it. But I
suspect that it is only a pernicious, Pythagorean coincidence." George
Miller, "The Magical Number Seven" (1956)
