The rule is there to prevent collusion. 99 times out of 100, this rule is not used for collusion. It's used for information.

So what?

It's also used for information that the asker most likely isn't going to use, or know how to use to make much of a difference. Most of the time it's asked just out of curiousity. Usually by a player who folded on a prior street who is seeing if his hand was better. Also consider that many people coming into the game now are used to seeing hands at showdown with TV. So they're also more likely to be asking in terms of being a spectator than to try and make strategy adjustments against you. Which I think was also true before TV made it popular.

People get way too uptight about it.
