It's difficult to overknead bread when you're kneading by hand, fatigue usually wins before overkneading is achieved, but bread dough can be overkneaded which results in a tough and chewy texture which might not be all that objectionable for bread but for biscuits and other lighter breads it is not a good thing.

Good topic of discussion.
