AIUI, constantly repeating the same actions and expecting different 
results is part of the original cargo cults, but in that case, the 
participants think that if they get all of the details exactly right, it 
will work, so it's questionable if they're doing the same thing over and 
over or not.  I've taken to referring to the practice as the Bullwinkle 
Syndrome: "This time, for SURE!"
