If they were going to be face down, and one flipped, they yeah, I'd confirm.
There was a time when I would just flip that card up, since it was clear he was tabling the hand and it just bounced wrong. But I got tired of the arguments later from people who got hung up on the "the dealer should not turn up the cards" so I started pushing the down card back to the player so he could flip it up.
The advantage to asking are you mucking .... is that in the unlikely event the player has a few functioning brain cells left .... they might just say "Hey the dealer thought I might be mucking .... my hand might have gotten mucked .... maybe I shouldn't throw my cards anymore." --- Ok its kind of far fetched .. but it could happen.
