What's the point of the show view when using the scaffold to

Rails
1

This is kind if an elementary question, but what is the point of the
show view when you have edit? If you try to edit the record you can
see all of the details just as you would with show. Am I missing
something here or is there some other good reason why there is a show?

Thanks for the help.

Maybe you want to allow some people to view, but not edit the records?
Or
maybe there’s a textarea field with a lot of text, but the input field
is small so you can’t easily see it all?
