The rules as described and as implemented don't match. Saying you're doing something, when that something makes no sense and is unreasonable isn't transparency.

Wikipedia's opening paragraph on transparency:

"Transparency, as used in science, engineering, business, the humanities and in other social contexts, is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed. Transparency implies openness, communication, and accountability. "[1]

There is neither openness or accountability in my example.

Yes in a narrow sense it is transparent, in the wider (I would say, most important) sense, it isn't.
