I worry that a poet still fails to see the import of what you have been dismissing. "Silence communicates nothing"? I am aghast! You just kept failing to understand the essence of silence.
History records no silences
Silence communicates nothing
From a deep poet who understands the power of speaking and not speaking. Chai!
Well...your dismissal a ails nothing. Silence is what silence is. Whether you call it the void or we call it a powerful binary that speaks to its opposite.

The exclamation marks, etc, in sentences, which you mentioned are parts of the communication endeavours, some things are being communicated.
Silence communicates nothing.
