as an old time at ALAC, and non-English speaking people, I don't think
silence is agreement at all, and it never was the norm either unless
it was called many times for consent.

often, I ignore the things that do not make sense or worth to bother
my precious time - and I know many of my colleagues have similar
attitude. unfortunate, maybe, but we are busy in doing our own work
in professional manners and those things go outside of our cotrol, let
them be.  we have no luxury of time to waste.
