Bombaywalla,
Hello, I have to agree with your distinction between true transparency and revealing as compared to the hi-fi vernacular of those terms. When people complain of too much transparency, I have written before that this in reality makes no sense, you can never have too much true transparency. The problem is as you clearly pointed out is that the false tilted up high frequency information is confused with being a more revealing sound, wrong conclusion. In my opinion the more genuine revealing and transparency that you are able to achieve, the more natural and realistic your music will actually sound. You'll hear more nuance which is desirable. So, count me as another person who agrees with your well written explanation.
