Your example is incorrect
"transparency: 1" != "opacity: 1"
We use transparency in the US. Transparency is how much light passes through an object and Opacity is how much it blocks.
so:
"transparency: 1" == "opacity: 0"
Funny enough, the example is ambiguous since:
"transparency: 0.5" == "opacity: 0.5"
Yeah, when I caught that, I thought that it might just be semantic trolling! (a terrible variant)
ooohh, devious!
