I don't think anyone disagrees with this. if somebody asks me what I had I show them 100% (non pros). If they make a good fold ok show them and if they make an awful fold I'll just muck face down.
when I play a hand that involves a non standard line, it won't get shown but the vast majority of hands are so standard that people don't gain anything by seeing your cards. Even if they did 95% of that info will be forgotten in 30 minutes and 95% of the info that is remember will be misapplied anyways
If some casual player says you got it or your good I immediately fast roll. If somebody that is trying to win says your good and wants to see my hand only for strategic purposes (which won't make a difference anyways) and refuses to show his hand then we are going to waste some time
