Will disagree with this. True that it's all about BF% in terms of seeing your abs - but that goes for all muscle groups. It comes down to seeing developed abs vs. non-developed. Don't work them and they'll never be developed to their potential.

fair enough, if u wants alot of striations and cut obliques u can work them but your abs get more residual work then any other muscle group, a football player doing hours of cardio a week? thats alot of abs work right there. also, doing squats, deadlifts, rows u bring ur core into it. either way, EVERY day is excessive.

Agreed, although it's not just about striations and such. Just like any other muscle, they can and will grow. Sure they're tough, just like calves, because they're involved in just about every single movement we make. With all that said, I agree a million percent about people overtraining them; every day is insane! 2x a week TOPS! When I train abs (which isn't much admittedly, tsk tsk) I do 1x a week.
