I struggle to have my students articulate their findings without telling the story of their journey. That's because a reader does not want to give her attention to the "how we got there" until you've convinced her that "where we got" was worth it.

But making an argument is too difficult for some of my students, and they fall back to narrating their struggle instead. It pushes back onto me the responsibility to delineate the argument. I will do it as a teacher, but not as a reader. It's the writer's job to make a point.
