The types of games I run tend to be "Damn the rules! Full speed ahead." That is, I don't sweat having mistakes in game. If a player wants to talk to me about it after the session, cool, otherwise we move forward.
As far as rules lawyers go . . . I refuse to play with a known rules lawyer and the first instance of rules lawyering and I eject the player. It's pretty clear in my list of rules/social contract that all players get before they play in my games. I don't have time to argue rules minutiae to someone who probably likes doing exactly that. Moreover, it's not fun for the other players who have to deal with that BS.
TL;DR My table, my rules and if you're at my table you know this going in. I may not be perfect on all the rules for GURPS, but I like to think I'm pretty good with players having fun.
