Exactly. Most moderation cases on the French Wikipedia are 100% transparent but people still argue about the decisions, complain that the admins are biased in favor of whatever political side, and continue doing bad behavior that they've repeatedly been told it's against the rules.

Also, the more transparency you have the more you get things like "but you did this and that for Alice last time, that's so inconsistent with your decision about Bob today!!1!". Yup, it's not consistent because it's human and constantly evolving, people get better with experience, cases are never 100% the same, etc.
