✨Becks’✨ :
And too many people think it means hiding everything in flowery language that still ends up TELLING the reader everything.

yes, you've hit on my biggest complaint about "show don't tell" as feedback, i.e., More often than not you have to go into detail about what the actual problem is, and "show don't tell" becomes a useless refrain

This kinda reminds me of the "but and therefore" rule by Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

I write my fight scenes in extreme detail, slow it down to a crawl for just a few seconds

Yes and I think a lot of it relies on you trusting your reader too. I've a scene where my MMC kills a corrupted beast. In a first draft his internal monologue talks about how he hates taking a life, even if it's necessary. In a later edit, I had him completely silent internally and he gently closed the beasts eyes with trembling hands, then whispered a sacred burial right. I had no internal monologue here so never once did he say how he felt about it during this updated scene. I rely on the reader to know that if you treat a body with respect, even a monster infected with blight, you know he cares. Trust your readers. Not even the showing needs to be spelled out.
