If the guy mucked the other card the dealer should have instantly perma-mucked it in an irretrieveable manner. This would eliminate any need for the floor. If his other card had not been mucked properly by the dealer then quite unfortunately his hand would still be live.

I'm going to disagree with you on this. I agree that the dealer should have made the cards irretrievable first, however i disagree that the failure to do so renders these cards live.

I'm all for this. Dealer errors in procedures like this should NOT change the decision as to whether a hand is alive or dead. The dealer's failure to bury the mucked cards is immaterial.
