Agree.
But silence can also be awkward.
Reminds me of my college Astronomy professor, Mr. Ehlers. He was a former engineer who worked in NASA's late 50's/early 60's Mercury program. He looked the part. White short sleeve dress shirt, thin necktie with a tie clip, and smoked a pipe in class (one could do that back then).
Whenever he would mention s some minor trivial fact ("One million Earths could fit inside the Sun"), he would always followup with, "Good information to know at a cocktail party".
