Opaque: Translucent: Transparent. All three define varying degrees of perception. Opaque and translucent are defined as being muddied or "clouded" by material that can distort the original image. Could be paralleled with excessive/unnecessary legalese. The more unnecessary words a contract or legal agreement contains, the muddier it is. I like transparency where average Joe / average Jane can cut through the BS and say "so _this_ is what this is really all about: it appears to be X, but is actually Y". There's nothing wrong with seeing everything clearly when clarity is the intention.
