I think it depends on the book. Some I've read actually go beyond that and give good information. Like one I've been reading recently all about planning a series, and another about structuring the story with specific points, and character archetypes.

I think it depends on which books. Some of it may be obvious to one person but to other put in wording that makes it more useful and such.

Also on the showing thing, I think when it comes to that, it's more that there are some things you should show and others you can just tell. Like you shouldn't just say someone has a personality trait , or is smart you should show it. (like saying your character is brilliant but having him / her constantly do dumb shit (*cough*BELLA*cough*).

But I do agree with you that I hate it when books say "Never do this thing" when the thing they're talking about CAN be done well. They should attack the actual bad writing and not the entire "thing"

Example: Instead of saying "don't write abused characters because some people write it wrong and make it cheesy." you should say "If you're going to write this, do your research , don't be melodramatic, use bask-story to develop the character into who they are rather than making their past a huge misery sundae; make sure the abusers are 3-dimensional characters themselves and not 'Evil!!' plot devices/ robots that do things out of jealousy of the character or have no reasoning."
