I hope his shin does; unless, of course, his transparency level is below
a certain threshold.
The problem is NOT the invisible man; it's the kid he fathered on a
visible woman so we
have the 50% visible child, also known as "The situation that H.G.Wells
didn't think about too
carefully."
Things get even more difficult in further generation with the 5% visible
descendant,
the 95% visible distant cousin and so forth.

The invisible man still had to worry about opening doors and bumping into
things. His shin could intercept painfully with the corner of a coffee
table whether visible or not.

I'm not sure why the explanation would be difficult. Existence is
different from appearance. Intersect looks for existence at a particular
location, visibility is how the object looks.
Substitute "blue" for "visible" and it's the same thing.

It does seem illogical that while one can set levels of transparency
with interset
an image can continue intersecting with another when it is, supposedly,
invisible . . .
Certainly, having to explain THAT to children is going to make them take
an even
more dim view of adults than I hope they do already.
