I guess anyone can cook ribs until they fall apart but it takes some skill to get them tender but not falling off the bone.

You answered your own question...It's also a little harder to slice ribs perfectly for presentation if they are falling off the bone..

there's no science it, just peoples opinion of what a well cooked rib should be... kind if like a steak....some like a little pink in the middle, others like it raw and others like it like the heel of a shoe...

General rule of thumb says somewhere in the middle suits more people than less.
