What is it that you believe? The nonsense you spouted in your original post, or the sensible conclusions in this post?

Its probably somewhat prudent for a casino to change dealer if a player is winning too much, there is the chance that there could be some sort of dealer/player collusion, or the player is taking advantage of some weakness in the dealer, and changing the dealer will "fix" this real fast.
However, I think casinos change dealers just because they're as superstitious as ploppies.

they are. I have heard numerous confirmed stories directly from dealers and PCs. It all depends upon how sweaty the casino is to begin with, but one dealer was used specifically as a "streak breaker." he was never sure what quality about him made him the "streak breaker" but that was his specific use. He was once violently pulled aside after a hot payout streak and the PC dug her fingernails into his arms, drawing blood. PCs were instructed to send dealers home if they were also on a hot payout streak. A PC I know was fired when a whale ploppy got somewhat lucky on his shift and took home a win. Not sizable by the whale's standards, but quite a hit for the casino.

Hey now! Must be something to the hot streak theory, if casinos are going to go to that much effort to spoil a hot streak! So what is causing these hot streaks? Could it be the ... sshhh... spirit world? Maybe ETs? Could it be some superior intelligence force like the Grays or the Reptilians? Maybe an old fashioned leprechaun? Could we possess far superior talents embedded deep within our psyches that somehow comes to bear on the material world of cards a certain times? How can we conjure up these black swan moments? How can we take advantage of these gifts from the unknown? My new book, Mastering the Unknown at Blackjack will be coming out the latter part of June. It will answer these questions and more. Don't miss it!

Ha ha streak breaker. Bring him on! I think the R. in AC once pulled this guy out of the closet for me. Sweatiest place in AC.

I love those speed demons they put on you. Nothing improves my concentration more, and it lends a certain enjoyment to the game similar to Errol Flynn sword fighting with those inferior swordsmen of the king! En Garde! But I hate it when they put one of those ugly, hateful card slamming fools who only serve to take all the pleasure out of the game. Of course, nothing is quite so satisfying as a card slamming bust out artist who loses every hand! Now that is sheer joy... if you can take his bad breath, underarm odor and toothy grin/grimace. Bring on them bad boys!

Yes, I would actually prefer a fast dealer myself, but the funny thing was, this new dealer was not, was actually slower. I did not see him before, they pulled him out of thin air to replace the current dealer. This tends to confirm that casinos are just outright superstitous too.
I assume this streak breaker was locked up somewhere in a hidden statis or hibernation chamber, waiting to be deployed. The PCs were saying to each other "Oh uh, a table is winning! Activate the 'Streaker Breaker', and they ran off, broke the glass case, to press a big red button somewhere labeled 'Deploy Streak Breaker', with all sorts of alarms and klaxons tripping off somewhere, with steam coming out of vents and such"
