Re: Why exactly is it bad etiquette to ask to see a losing showdown hand?

Can anyone explain to me the basis behind the etiquette here?

the golden rule. if you get caught bluffing with a busted draw would YOU want to show your 9-high? or, if you get sucked out on by a gutshot against your top set, would you like it if he says, "what'd you have anyway? aces? kings? a set? i wanna see the hand, dealer." as he's dragging a $10k pot or something, no less; how would you like that? not so much? ok then.
