It's true that remaining silent is good, it's also true that loud people are heard more, and confidence to be loud is assumed as confidence of correctness--and thus often works. But on the other hand, when the loud person is shown wrong, they lose legitimacy in the long term. Maybe it's good to understand this fact while also attempting to be silent most of the time. That way you can be more impactful when you choose to speak. Great post.
