Did you miss the part where it said "Graphical booting is controlled by the GRAPHICAL line in the /etc/sysconfig/init file; set it to "no" to permanently disable graphical booting.", or do you feel that this does not answer your question?
Setting GRAPHICAL to "no" will disable rhgb, giving you the standard console boot messages, which is practically the same as "show details" in rhgb, it's just less pretty.
The OP did not ask how to disable the graphical bootup; he asked how to have it always show details. These are NOT the same thing.
