Line 14:

To scientifically prove that a compression method is ''not'' transparent, [[double-blind]] tests may be useful. The [[ABX test|ABX method]] is normally used, with a [[null hypothesis]] that the samples tested are the same and with an [[alternative hypothesis]] that the samples are in fact different.

All lossless data compression methods are transparent, by nature. However, a double-blind comparison could still yield claims of perceived differences and thus lack of transparency, even though such claims would be in error.
