Talk:Transparent metals

Please move to more appropriate lemma
In my opinion, there is no such thing as a transparent metal.

The article describes that thin films of, say, gold transmit light. However, this does not imply that gold is transparent. Quite the contrary: you need thin films because gold is not transparent.

Let me try an analogy: Would you accept an article about "nontoxic potassium cyanide" that explains that though KCN is highly toxic, in microgram doses it is not?

 * Since there was no reply to this objection, I went ahead replacing the entire text. Since the introduction said correctly that the text actually addresses transparent conducting film, we should redirect there. -- 84.153.40.200 (talk) 10:28, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
