While this is definitely true from a game integrity perspective, it should be noted that casino security guards do not think in those terms. They use a different mental model in their thinking.
Their decisions revolve around human safety. If a player is deemed to be 86ed and removed. They are not worried about the integrity of a poker hand, they are thinking about what happens if this conflict becomes confrontational or physical.
I am not saying that the integrity of the poker hand is not important, it is. However they are thinking about bigger issues.
If it was a blackjack hand and they interceded, they wouldn't have cared about the outcome of that one individual hand.
