I think it depends on which POV you're looking at the system.

If you change anything inside the distributed system, such change is transparent to the user because they can keep on accessing a resource like nothing ever happened.

Think about a networked file system: you access a file without knowing or caring where the file actually and phisically is, so the system is transparent.
