Four to the Floor?

There was a commotion over on table 26, where the dealer had spread a flop of 
- one too many! The floor was called over immediately to resolve the problem and the dealer did advise that the jack was in fact the last card to have come off the deck.
Now in some countries, the ruling is that if the last card can be established, it is then put in its right place as the second burn card and the play and deal continues as normal. However, as the WSOP Official Rules state:
Rule #82: If the flop contains four (rather than three) cards, whether exposed or not, the dealer shall scramble the four cards face down. A tournament official will be called to randomly select one card to be used as the next burn card and the remaining three cards will become the flop.
The players were outraged, but as they say, rules are rules and in this case, the floorman was spot on. As it turned out, the jack was the card selected as the next burn card and play didn't even proceed past the flop as a player moved all in with 
, forcing the others to fold.
A short time later, the floorman returned with a page of the rulebook in hand. "I've got the rules right here, I just don't want you think that I'm crazy!" he said.
"Well, you are crazy, but that's okay, you got it right!" a player replied, sending a ripple of laughter around the table.
