If there were a way to prove that spells have Verbal, Somatic, or Component requirements, then I would agree with you, for the sole reason of Silence only shutting off Verbal things. Until then, however, no.

No hostility, but keep your arguments balance-related, please. There was never anything strictly stated in lore about the status of the current spells. Invocations are obviously verbal due to the chants required, which is why I recommended Silence still disable them entirely. There are no chants for non-invocation spells, but I didn't want Silence to simply leave them untouched, as then it really would be a largely useless status. I believe my suggestion is perfectly in line as far as role-play elements go, so if you have a balance argument, please share it. But I'm obviously opposed to it staying as a lock-out status.
