Mark, your view of BJs is how I view shuffles. I feel that allowing shuffles would change the game in a more extreme way (rightly or wrongly) and that it's not that difficult to ref.
Shuffled goals (in my opinion) make the sport look weak, give you an unfair advantage over a keeper, move the sport away from traditional polo, encourages a one-on-one "dump the ball" approach, makes play within the D incredibly scrappy and invites a whole host of new mallet styles/game plays that could take advantage of the "allowing shuffles" approach (I see these plays as "lame" and not "cool").
