I vehemently disagree to the first part - its like insisting to play poker only if you can see the other guy's cards. Exchanging lists robs the game of a degree of challenge, surprise and tact. What would poker be without bluffing?
Do we have to go so far as to draw out our exact deployments and assigning turns that reserves will show up? Are we that afraid of taking risks?
Now, as to WYSIWYG, I totally agree. You shouldn't try to decieve your opponent's by masking the equipment on your models or what weapons they are carrying - I've let people take back their Assault phase because they didn't realize they were charging an Aspiring Champ with Lightning Claws (it was a loaner army and they were "discretely" painted so as to not stand out).
But then again, how am I supposed to model my Farseer's psychic powers?
I can't. And you just won't know what's going to happen when you stroll into Mind War range. So everyone just let go - accept the risk - have fun
