Exactly.

And yes, I understand that it's still random and all that... but the point is, when people post hands , for example (the first one that comes to mind), it's actually meaningless. Had RD not taken a bathroom break there and raised preflop, maybe he would have gotten it all in on a completely different harmless looking flop of T55 nd maybe a Jack would have come on the river too, just for kicks. So MAYBE, his seemingly ill-timed bathroom break saved him from being eliminated from the tourney with the Kiss of Death.

The point is, we don't know, and knowing that a continuous shuffle exists, we can no longer - ever - speculate about what might have been had we played a particular hand differently.

If that doesn't bother you, great for you. But hopefully you can see how it could bother some people.
