Re: cards speak or players?

You're not allowed to talk about the hand, and that is a classic reason why. If player 1 wants to muck, muck.

Making sure the hands are read correctly by helping analyze the board and tabled hands helps keep the game moving and is appreciated by every (reasonable) player. Not being allowed to talk about hands doesn't apply after showdown. If a player starts to muck because someone incorrectly identified his own hand being better than it is, he was just being sportsmanlike by believing the other player. He shouldn't be punished for it if his cards can be recovered.
