This is probably a simple question. If you waive your rights to see LoR's, how do you know the content and strength of the LoR's. I hear a lot of people rate their LoR's as okay or strong or very strong. Sure you can know your letter writer well but until you actually see it you won't know what it says or even how strong it is.
In the working world I've had job applications where the LoR's are not secret and I can see which are strong or not. One director I worked under really appreciated and supported me. However, he wrote a very bland letter and I only realized after he wrote it and saw it. Else I would not have known.
Edit: The director actually intended to write a strong letter. It just did not turn out so.
