This is a Timing question: Timing Is Not Decision is the pattern that decides what this behavior means.
Quiet Ntel reads this through Timing, not through emotional guessing. The issue sits in Commitment Delay / Not Ready Response, so the page should separate what appears to be happening from what the structure is doing. The next step is to route the reader toward Not Ready Language / Waiting Threshold.
The reader is trying to interpret not ready response as a personal verdict instead of reading it as a decision pattern.
