I was reading the documentation of rule actions, and there is no detail on this. 

When you use the action "stop rule execution", does it only break out of that current rule? What if that rule is being called by another rule? Will it stop the parent execution as well or just break out of the current rule?

Also as a side note, in the example given on the page above, they use "continue to next execution" in a useless way, unless I'm misunderstanding the functionality. In that specific scenario, wouldn't rule execution continue if it passed over the first if statement anyway? I know of actually useful scenarios to use that action, but this example seems rather pointless. 

Thank you,
