The term "God Rule" doesn't imply some sort of omniscience ... it means it's one of the rules where the umpire is required to do "whatever is necessary" to make things right (in his opinion, of course), as opposed to those rules that have specific penalties or awards attached to them.
PC or not, I'm not about to change my own usage of that term to "Impartial arbiter rule", and I think most here would agree with me.
