Use of "transparent" in computing

Read Original

The article discusses the author's confusion with the term 'transparent' in software contexts, where it often means a change is invisible to the user, contrary to its common English meaning. It references Wikipedia's note on the term's misleading nature and the trend towards using 'agnostic' instead. The author decides to adopt 'agnostic' for clarity.
