This is a special kind of stupid. They're not recording silence, they're recording the ambient sound of the room. The entire point is that it's not silent, even if it is very quiet.
It is sometimes misleadingly called silence in the biz, though room tone is more appropriate.
Totally, but the context is important. Everyone in that environment should (hopefully) understand that when they say silence, they don’t mean literal silence.
