They have to remove all the taste from the meat somehow - and boiling is one of the better methods to accomplish that.
BTW: turn off that broiler, use an overnight dry rub, and then set the oven for 200 and the timer for 3-4 hours.

Usually I just put some spices on, slather on the dause and put them under the broiler for about 25 mins. Take them out and you can pull the bones right off of the meat. Then you have a rib steak. So why the boiling?

When faced with the choice between changing one's mind, and proving that there is no need to do so, most tend to get busy on the proof.
