Rules with scores of 0 are *not* run.

Rules with non-zero scores such as 0.001 are run.  The common reasons
why a score of 0.001 or -0.001 would be used:

 - because we manually raised it so they would be run during the
   distributed GA (the genetic algorithm that calibrates the scores)
   process
 - because it was needed as a prerequisite for some other rule
 - because the rule is informational and low-cost
