When a question is asked about a subject that someone is supposed to be knowledgeable in, does failure to voice an opinion mean they approve it?
In other words, if they just keep silent, are they automatically showing their approval of the matter under discussion by a group...? 100 people were asked a particular question within their particular field of expertise; Only 5 answered, and all 5 were in complete agreement in their answer... |

failure to reply either way means you accept what ever answer it should come out as...good or bad.. you gave up you "opinion" and "right" to voice a positive or a negative response. you then are obligated to accept the outcome.. hence you have approved .

As a farm boy, growing up, if I asked a farmer about the amount of fertilizer to apply, or the correct plow depth turning a cover crop, or any of a zillion things...no reply meant that I should know the answer or stop being lazy.
I could look at dozens of fields of farmers. I could see how they did it. I could ask the farm supply store folks. I could call somebody. I could do a test strip, and decide on the basis of that evidence. No reply is just no reply. |

When a question is asked about a subject that someone is supposed to be knowledgeable in, does failure to voice an opinion mean they approve it? No. As in this case, it could be that they are totally confused and don't understand the question. In other words, if they just keep silent, are they automatically showing their approval of the matter under discussion by a group...? 100 people were asked a particular question within their particular field of expertise; Only 5 answered, and all 5 were in complete agreement in their answer... The other people probably cheated their way through college and were bluffing their way through life and they were clueless about the subject. Assume the worst. They kept silent because they were afraid to speak up, or because they had no clue. |

Don't look at me, I didn't say it would work or not.

I agree to disagree. I failed miserably in trying to word this didn't I...? lol, Yes.... But i think i figured it out, If i'm correct, then some remain silent because they are too lazy or too confident, and some aren't confident enough to produce an answer before their peers.... Rule # 1, if you're gonna be the best, be confident, be well informed, and be ready to be challenged...People "will" challenge you, even knowing they are unarmed. Rule # 2 Nobody has all the right answers, there are always different solutions, it's finding what is effective. The most important rule, is whether or not you may think you know it all...there is always room for new ideas and approach. |

Yeah, they may have found the subject either too repetive,or disgusting, or below themselves to answer, etc.

When a question is asked about a subject that someone is supposed to be knowledgeable in, does failure to voice an opinion mean they approve it? Perhaps they aren't so knowledgable in it...or maybe they just do not want to get into the discussion. I'm sure silence does not mean approval unless its like "All in favor say AYE" or "Any last words?".
