OVERRULE is most appropriate (in the ordinary-language sense) when, not
only is the correct answer considered obvious, but the original judge
is nevertheless not expected to get it right (e's either obstinate or
has become inactive) - which is why e gets dinged.  AFFIRM is somewhat
similar in its effect on those who disagree with the judge, blocking em
from further appeals.
