Looking for GM opinions on this matter.

As a few examples:

A player on the hex map is getting attacked from the side opposite their weapon. The player says,"I'll parry." You simply say,"Okay, roll." while forgetting they shouldn't get a defense with that weapon on their opposite side.

A player took a move and attack manuever their previous turn. On the enemies turn, they are attacked and the player attempts a parry with the weapon they attacked with. (Cannot defend with the weapon used to attack without using the Rapid Recovery extra effort option after a Move and Attack)

A player critically fails and their weapon turns in their hand. On their next turn, they ask to attack and you say,"Roll." forgetting they need to re-ready their weapon before they can attack.

A player attacks an NPC while they're on the ground face up. You roll for the NPCs defense with a -1 penalty. (Should be a -3 to defense while lying on your back)

In these instances, for whatever reason you as the GM overlooked certain penalties or rules limiting those abilities (maybe you're tired, brain laps, maybe you don't know the rules), if there was another player at the table paying attention, and they're aware the rule is being overlooked or ruled incorrectly, would you want them to speak up and help get the ruling correctly, or would you rather they not say anything?
