access-list 181 deny   ip 192.0.0.0  0.0.0.255   255.255.255.0 0.0.0.255
   access-list 182 permit ip 199.2.98.0 0.0.0.255   255.255.255.0 0.0.0.255

the latter permits something which the former does not deny.  i.e. noop.

randy

permits/denys what?  (a retorical query)
the point being that there is no practical difference btween 

        199.2.98.0/24 
and     192.0.0.0/24
or      128.0.0.0/24
or      191.255.255.0/24

these prefixes (and delegation points) are valid or potentially valid
in the routing system whereas

        192.0.2.0/24 
and     172.16.0.0/16
and     192.168.0.0/24
and     10.0.0.0/8

are not.
