We can argue the definition of "invisible" vs "transparent" for days  
and waste everyone's time.  I use the term to mean "They don't see  
https.  They don't really care about it, as evidenced by most just  
hitting the "continue" button when are told about a bad certificate,  
and have only the vaguest notion (if even that) that they might want  
it."
