sure, i'll tell you my thoughts behind it.  lets say you have the following
configuration.

identify spam at 5.0
quarantine at 8.0
delete over 15.0

and you have a need to quarantine certain mail, lets say for a past employees. 
Since you know the To: address, and you know it all needs to be quarntined, the
simple solution would be 

header  EX_EMPLOYEES   To =~ /(user1|user2|user3)[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
score   EX_EMPLOYEES   8.0
shortcircuit EX_EMPLOYEES default
priority EX_EMPLOYEES -100

Therefore, any email to those people automatically goes to quarantine because
the final score is 8.0.  Without being able to shortcircuit and use the default
score, you are always going to shortcircuit at the +100 (or whatever leve you
set).... which looses flexibility.

but its whatever you feel is right... I just thought people may find it
beneficial not to designate a spam/ham classification and just use whatever
score is assiged to the shortcircuited rule.
