Well, I probably wouldn't be quite that enthusiastic about it, but, yes, I would nod, say OK and not object to the other player's correct reading of the hands, and then give the pot to the winning hand, and have done so many times. (If you play PLO8 much, you'll see this happen fairly often.) (I have also been that "random guy", and sometimes have been yelled at for "interfering".)
I understand that some people think they should STFU if not in the hand, or simply don't want to get involved, but I agree with RRoP on this. I think the best tabled hand should win, and I have no problem whatsoever with people not in the hand correcting a dealer/player error in reading tabled hands.
