The reason for this silence is because Santi wants to call potential
culprits in turn and stop when one responds "Yeah, I am the guilty one who
threw a monkey wrench into the user's workflow".  For that to work, "No,
the user is not in the middle of any interaction with me" response needs
to be silent.
