No, but not for the reason you stated.

The shuffle is designed to randomize the deck, it doesn't matter what order the cards ended up in. When I am dealing I sometimes "mix up" the muck with my right hand, sort of in an absent minded/something to do kind of way, since I am covering it with my right hand already. Also, when the cards are "consolidated" (muck, discards, and deck stub) after the river card is dealt, the dealer should probably the pulling some cards out to scoop up the remaining folds, so as not to have the last fold on the bottom of the pile, and exposing it when they front the cards for the next deal. A lot of times the dealer will simply "wash" the cards before the next shuffle.

The REAL reason you don't rabbit hunt is because it slows down the game. If you do it when one person wants to see the next card, pretty soon someone else is going to want to see a card, and before you know it you have to deal all five cards to the river for every single hand, regardless of when the hand is actually over.

Just have a strict "no rabbiting" policy, and pretty soon players will stop asking.

Besides, thinking in terms of "what if" is essentially being results oriented, which isn't how you want to train yourself to think about poker anyway.
