Two can play at that game:

That's TDA rule number [B]one[/B], which should tell you the importance they place on it.
 
The situation you've described above is irrelevant because the player won't be given their hand back unless the dealer and floor are certain that it's the correct two cards that are being returned. If there's any doubt (as there was in the hand from last year's Main Event) the cards don't get returned and chips from that betting round probably get returned to the player instead. Chances are they won't be returned unless the dealer can identify the cards [I]without[/I] the player having to tell anyone what they were.
 
Yes, the original rule is elegant and simple and FWIW I agree with it. Nobody's talking about reversing it or expecting it to be overruled every time a hand an unprotected hand is mucked in error. All we're talking about here is tournament all-in situations, which is a very small subset of the situations to which the rule applies and in which I, most of the others in this thread and apparently several reputable tournament directors feel it's appropriate to invoke the fairness provisions of the rules of poker.
