What I've used to mean the same is "paperclipping" (discussing paper clips).
When planning for investments in a corporation, major stakeholders who are clueless about important technologies (e.g. which hardware and software platform to choose) spend their time on discussing where the paper clips in office storage room should be procured, because that is a thing that they can understand, and they can show how they care about even the smallest detail.
