I disagree with this.  There's a difference between REFUSED 
and NO: REFUSED doesn't become part of game precedent.  That a 
given CFI gets a NO ruling is as much a rules 
clarification/refinement/interpretation as if it gets a YES 
ruling.  But sometimes a CFI doesn't need any sort of ruling 
as much as it needs to just go away.
