Staged card info hidden or open?

By doug.a.scott, in Fallout

When putting out a staged quest card, I/we (depending on if I'm playing solo or with a group) have just read through the entire card, assuming that all information on it, including result of actions, is open, unlike encounter cards, where the results are a surprise until you make a choice. (Run-on sentence ahoy!)

Is this correct? I've had somebody tell me that I should be hiding the result information on staged cards as well, but I don't see how that's practical when the cards are, well, stage d for all to see. Any thoughts?

All info on a staged card is public knowledge
