I'm getting tired about repeating this point, but the merit of the "let's lynch the silent ones" is not necessarily in finding a silent wolf.

It is too likely that, if we enforce this plan, the wolves will start talking so that they won't be caught as "silent". A talking wolf is a wolf that is more likely to make a mistake. Furthermore, at the end of the game, silent players tend to draw attention off the main topics at hand (and while they are not lynched, they cause a lot of uncertainty).

If we put my plan into work, any self-respecting Ordo will talk to help the village, which will isolate the wolves (or cobblers for that matter) if they decide not to talk. Furthermore, if everyone talks, then there will be no silent ones to lynch, while still forcing the wolves on the spotlight.
