We don’t need a leap in hypotheticals to imagine what it takes to physically muck a hand. The card in the OP “kinda slid under” the muck without any pushing or jamming or deciding. The hand was live because of the care taken to identify it.

Right. My initial impression was that the other players were claiming it was live because it’s impossible for an all-in hand to not be live, which is obviously not true. As it turns out, I misinterpreted the motives behind OP’s protests anyway, so I am probably wrong about other aspects too :P
