A 50% opaque window composited atop a 50% opaque black is not the same result as just a 50% opaque window. In fact he will get a much closer simulation of the desired result if the black surface was removed when the surface is made transparent. Pixels inside the surface will be correct, and if it happens to fill the screen then all pixels will be correct.
