Your course is confused.

"It is not a question of "alleged sonic differences", but whether differences that are heard are due to a more transparent component's ability to reveal detail that lesser gear is simply incapable of doing."

Well, it certainly is a question of alleged sonic differences, because if you haven't established that differences are audible, then to speculate about audible transparency remains just that, speculation. Sure, there is gear that is more transparent: some gear is quieter than others, for example, and that may have audible consequences. It is possible to alter the FR to an extent that it is audible. Even distortion can be audible, if there's enough of the right (or wrong!) kinds of it.

Revealing detail, which must mean someone hears more detail, actually is not the same as transparency. A rising high end will allow one to hear more of some kinds of detail, but that's not neutral. A compressed signal may help you hear low level details--hmmm, that's not transparency, either.
