The speaker asks the reader to remember that silence tells them nothing they do not already know.

The page presents an aphorism rather than evidence about silence in every situation.

A four-row typed aphorism: 'Try to remember; / silence dosen't tell you / anything that you don't / already know'.

Silence is no oracle here but a blank that returns the listener to what they already carry; the source spelling dosen't is kept.
