That phrase is cynical..removing all doubt suggests the confirmation of being a fool..so this is not quite a brain teaser.

True, in case you’re a fool… but what I believe is

من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خيرا أو ليصمت

Thus, speaking has priorty, you only remain silent when you have nothing fruitful to say
