The rules state that you declare your mulligan and the oppo continues on with their set up. It is clear. You seem to think it is clear as mud.
@Ditto: To state that I dont take game theory or dedication to this game seriously is a great insult to me and to 'Pop. I suggest you apologize. Knowing the area you come from (Vince's), I am surprised with this attitude. I have given years to this game, judging, being a PTO, involved in the Judge's Training Manual with 'snore and others. Please.....that is a new low for anyone.

And where does it say that the opponent should gain this advantage?
The DECLARATION of the mulligan is the PROBLEM itself. That's the knowledge that is causing the advantage.
And while your word is solid, your thinking about game theory and dedication to the seriousness of this game seems to be not. This is our job to nit pick the fine details of the processes used in this game. You always seem to take a whimsical hand wavy "it'll work out" approach, rather than addressing the issues you should address.
