Sure, there are folks out there who believe NAT gives them benefits.
Some are actually sane (small multihomers avoiding BGP). You stand
out as insane for attempting to redefine "transparent" to mean
"inbound communication is possible after negotatiation with multiple
levels of NAT".

However, it does not invalidate end to end NAT as a counter
argument against people insisting on IPv6 so transparent with
a lot of legacy NAT used by people who loves it.

That is, end to end transparency can not be a reason to
insist on IPv6.

It certainly is, for those of us not arguing by redefinition.

Ah, you're on the "I should be required to allow direct outside connection
to my interior machines if I want to be connected to the Internet" crowd.

Got it.
