    How many milliseconds pause should I wait before I start speaking? Or does it depend on culture/other factors?

      If you don’t speak it was 300 ms less than you thought. Someone else said something and started a different topic.

      If you do speak it was 300 ms more than you thought. You interrupted them and you’re an asshole.
