Actually, this is a non-issue.  The precedence rule
says things that come later in a rule take precedence
over things that come earlier in the same rule, so the
thing that says we can spend our force cap to advance
takes precedence over that which says we can't spend
more than our budget.

And I'd agree with the context thang about points. 
Otherwise I could rewrite the M-Tek charter, take all
the bandwidth accumulated there, and spend that to
advance myself...
