Rock, I care. I go back so far in the contest circuit that I remember when loin meat was a legal pork entry. I am not a trained butcher by any means, but I have cut up many a hog. Meat harvested from the area above the ribs is loin meat.
As long as the KCBS has had rules, there have been people circumventing them or looking for loopholes. IMO, the KCBS has two options. Tighten up their description of shoulder meat, by defining how the shoulder is cut/butchered. The other option is as drbbq suggested. Drop the shoulder rule entirely and allow all cuts of pork (excluding ribs) that weigh at least five pounds when they go on the smoker.
