Bull***. That's not how stories work.

The point of foreshadowing is to be remembered after the payoff, so you think "Ah, so that's what was going on". Catching foreshadowing you missed on a second reading is satisfying too, but that doesn't make the initial moment of realisation irrelevant.

I've greatly enjoyed stories I've had spoiled, but every time that happens I still think "I wish I'd had the chance to be surprised by that".
