Wisdom Infrastructure · Card 06 of 10
Silentisn'tauthorised
Nobody objecting is not the same as somebody agreeing. Absence of refusal is not permission.
The reasoning
Nobody objecting to a plan in the room is not the same as somebody having actually agreed to it. Silence gets read as consent because that's convenient, not because it's true.
In practice
A proposal goes to five people by email. Two reply “looks good.” Three say nothing. The plan proceeds as if all five had signed off.
