unpredictable.  The over current can weld the contacts, permanently on.  Or it 
can burn the contact surface and leave some "ash" that stops making electrical 
contact, permanently off. It depends on the conditions in THAT fraction of the 
second.

 What do we
 know about the failure modes of these devices?

 limits the current by its resistance.
 
 You are correct that when the goal is to get
 the juice to a piece of gear fatter cable, shorter run is
 better.

  Hi Leslie,
 
 
  Why would you max size a wire
 spec? 
 
 
  I
 can't think of any practical situation where a little
  too big is not
  good and the
 shorter runs are better too.
 
 
            Cheers,
