If intersect looks for existence rather than appearance why does it tale transparency levels into consideration?

That just exchanges the dimensions of the object rectangle for the position of its "visible" outline. It is still checking for position/existence -- the existence of visible pixels.

The ability to check for the actual position of the object outline is a newer addition; the original intersect function only looked at the object rectangle. Likely the addition of the visible pixels parameter, which is very useful, confuses the concept which is still purely positional.
