If this is true, then social relationships would be transparent, and there would be no need for critique.

Because social relationships are *not* transparent, one cannot attribute failure to apprehend these social relationships to stupidity or evil.

This is also why I don't really agree with the Noam Chomsky worldview that you just have to explain the facts. The facts in and of themselves do not tell us much about the totality of social relationships.
