Alright, why don't you go ahead and tell me where this casino is that brings out the cards pre shuffled in a specially wrapped box. Where the players don't get to cut and the dealer starts the shoe immediately.
Because it is no longer a game of chance. It's not me vs random. It's me vs another human. This is now a skill based game. Like Poker. Unlike Poker. It can only be Banker of Player. All I got to do is guess what he guesses I'm going to guess next and guess the opposite.
As long they are trying to rig 80 hands at a time in advance.....piece of cake.
What's not to like about this scenario?

I think most casinos outside of US uses pre-shuffled shoes?
But they do allow a player to cut the cards though, if you're at the table they'll even invite you to do it - for "good luck" they say.
However, since they don't re-use the cards in touch tables, every shoe is different, past history of the table is no use.
