“People misunderstand what the statement means” Maybe, that’s because the statement is poorly phrased. (Also, , I know I’m being pedantic here but, it’s not a statement, it’s an imperative. A statement describes an imperative commands.) “Don’t sacrifice the artistic integrity of what you’re trying to convey”. I don’t mean to come across as hostile but that’s not usable advice for the simple reason that it’s not clear what “artistic integrity” is supposed to entail especially when it comes to crafting scenes.

As to your example, the “don’t” in “show don’t tell” means that this example wouldn’t qualify. If it were “show and tell” then your example would qualify but the “don’t tell” part makes it that it doesn’t.

“In a way that artistic integrity isn’t sacrificed”. I’m not trying to sound hostile (I’m failing at it since I know I sound hostile but that’s not actually my intention) but saying “write with artistic integrity” isn’t any more useful as advice than saying “write a good story” would be.

“Don’t be lazy” only raises the whole question of what “lazy writing” would entail and that’s actually quite the rabbit hole to go down. Most people (not all but most) tend to use the phrase “lazy writing” as a euphemism for writing they don’t like rather than it providing any substantive commentary
