Well, complete transparency is only relevant if we can show both of the following
That’s overstated. If one is going to be pushing for a singleton, complete transparency is relevant if it makes for a significantly better singleton than otherwise. Especially if the degree of transparency is likely to be stable (or evolve in a way that depends on its initial condition) once the singleton is in place. Similarly for any other properties of the singleton.
The idea here is to binarize the problem via a definition of acceptability. From this perspective (which, it is argued, would facilitate analysis), the question is not relevant.
I’m not sure if we thinking in terms of acceptable/unacceptable is actually very useful, though...
