Uh, putting the phone on mute does not keep one from listening. I do it all the time in business telecons. It is really a common practice and almost always a necessary one when there’s a group in a room during a Telecom. You just unmute it when you want to provide input. Muting it keeps extraneous noises from overriding the speaker’s voice. Papers shuffling, keyboard noises, coughs, sneezes, farts, commentary-—all can interrupt the speaker and prevent others on the Telecom in other locations from hearing the speaker

Nancy displayed her ignorance in her very defensive response.

Sometimes you mute so you can provide a smarky comment about the speaker.

Remeber the ad where during a conference call a participant presses mute and makes jokes about his boss who is speaking until maintenance comes in to fix the faulty mute button.
