1. Only overrule the computer if you know more than it does;
2. The computer always knows more than you do.

But if someone does need to be able to override the tank, why
cause problems by putting the human inside the tank?  Leave him
out and you can also leave out life support, ergonomic space,
and displays, lower the profile, use a harder suspension for
better accuracy, etc etc.  Park the human in a nice cozy bunker
somewhere.
