Can Balin cancel a Burgle effect on a shadow card, including during the Smaug fight?

Two players read the shadow effect definition the same way; no official ruling.

No. A shadow effect is the text below the shadow symbol, and a Burgle effect on a shadow card does not carry that symbol, so it is ignored. Smaug's forced effect is not a shadow effect either, so Balin has nothing to cancel.
