Transparent glass means that you can see everything that's on the other side as if the glass wasn't there. If there's a reflection, you cannot see what's behind that reflection. Thus, a reflective glass cannot be transparent.

All invisible glass is transparent, but not all transparent glass is invisible.

I'm not sure if I agree with this part. Ermm

Can transparent glass be seen? Or: If I can see glass (and everything that's behind the glass), is the glass transparent?

What if I cannot see the glass, but I can see what's behind the glass, and it seems to me that what's behind the glass would look different (more bright, perhaps) if the glass wasn't there? So, I assume there's a glass, but do I see the glass?

(If there is no glass, can I see that there is no glass?)

Isn't 'transparent' different from 'invisible'?

Shouldn't that be obvious? But is there transparent glass that isn't invisible? (Is there transparent glass at all?)

How can glass be transparent if you see the glass? If you see the glass, how can you see everything behind the glass?

How can you be sure that you see everything perfectly in the first place?

I'm not sure of anything, but is it even theoretically possible to see both the glass and what's behind the glass?

What if the glass is filled with a dense liquid that you can't watch through?

Aren't the glasses supposed to be some containers? Or am I mistaking the glasses and the glasses?

When were we ever talking about the kind of glasses you mistook the glasses we were talking about for?

Is it the size of the pianist that is important to women?
