Stitz, You are right about words being carefully selected. But in this case i believe it eludes to the fact that a judgment whether or not a bloom has been physically manipulated may be difficult. Using "may be disqualified" allows for a judgment call and discussion to determine IF the flower has been manipulated purposefully. IMHO, the intent is clear and the wording was selected to give judges flexibility in their determinations.
The "shall be" language only comes into play in the case of an "obvious infestation" which implies that no discussion or flexibility is needed - it's obvious.
