I also would rather chew the meat off the bones than have it fall off. Personal taste.

Amen Brother!
Properly cooked ribs shouldn't "fall off the bone" anyway. They should offer a little resistance to being pulled off the bone while eating.
Yup----when I go to someones cookout I can always spot the parboilers right off the first bite..
I'm not sure I follow, are you saying that for rib meat to fall off the bone it must be parboiled first?
