According to my non-riding friends, you can see everything through a new pair of shorts. If someone said that to me, i'd just roll my eyes assuming they didn't realize the purpose behind the compression material.
This is another reason i just got bike plates on my car - so if I say something like this to a cyclist, hopefully they'll know I'm supportive and not only being a jerk (I might still be being a jerk, just not only a jerk).
A friend at work sent around a video entitled "moon rise over the Columbia" (the Columbia is the river that runs through town) and it was a video of the cyclist in front of him on his commute that morning - um yeah, I'd rather see through a pair of shorts than over the top of them.
I found out later that the mooner was the guy in the office next to me. I didn't recognize him by his crack.
