[b]How does showing a card benefit the guy showing the card?[/b]

I don't get what Daniel, or anyone else who wants to "show", gets out of showing the card. Can someone give us an example of how Daniel benefits from showing his opponent one card? I understand his use of the "advertising" play after the hand is over, but this one escapes me.
 
In one of Doyle Brunson's books he tells a story about a hand he was about to fold, when his opponent said, "wait how about if i show you a card." But, the bottom line to [B]that [/B]story was that Doyle was able to deduce that he had the guy beat (I forget what the game was), and quickly called [B]and raised. [/B]The opponent was fit to be tied, "how can you raise, when a minute ago you were going to fold?"
 
But the bottom line was that the guy who saw the card benefited, and not the shower. It's not at all clear to me how showing a card helps you trick the other guy, which is what it seems like Daniel wants to accomplish.
 
Can someone post an example?
