It's a case of which is more prevalent in today's cardrooms, stupidity or total idiocy? Belief in magic indicates stupidity, but belief that the muck has magical properties that cause a hand to be irreversibly dead, regardless of the situation, indicates idiocy. Perhaps this is too close to call, when you add in the guy who tossed his hand into the muck in the first place. Generally I allow most things that make all the players happy, so the deal wouldn't bother me, but then I wouldn't make such a dumb decision either.
