Silence is golden to an extent, and in some situations where speaking will cause trouble and misunderstanding, silence will help bring down the heat of such trouble. But there are times you need to speak out, that is when you are to speak to a reasonable person or persons for clarification.

But when it happens to deal with a fool, silence is the best answer because speaking to such a person, you have to come down to that foolish level or standard of ignorance, making you also a fool. When you speak to such a person, it leads you to regret afterwards for engaging in such foolishness.
