I lean heavily toward the
show end of the spectrum as well, though it's certainly a matter of personal preference.
With showing, there's always the risk of showing
too much, beating the reader over the head with the obvious. But leaving things too open for interpretation also has its own risks, as the reading might feel vague or uncertain.
Given a choice of two evils, I'd rather
overwrite than
underwrite. At least with overwriting, the reader isn't left confused. Perhaps they're left feeling worn out or bored (which is definitely still something to avoid), but at least they're not left feeling uncertain.
With
underwriting, though, things can get confusing real quick, especially if the author leaves too many gaps for the reader to fill in. And to me, confusing your reader is one of the worst things you can do.
When in doubt, spell it out!
