ELI5: Why can you see through frosted glass after putting scotch tape over it?

Frosted glass is intentionally imperfect so that light has a really hard time getting through it without bouncing all around first. The glue on the scotch tape is enough to fill in these minor imperfections, and because the tape is also transparent, you can see through it.
