We've been discussing this up here a bit recently too, the way I see it a shoulder is a much more solid place to make contact regardless of which side its on. Unless you expect it and lock up in time, forearm contact is more likely to end in a crash IMO.
I get where they're coming from with the protect your space thing but not everyone is gonna play like a gentleman and not bend the rules to suit themselves. It'll be interesting to see some video from the weekend to see how it was taken up.
