I think reason most people don't start up conversations with strangers on tube is precisely cos they think it intrusive!

With strangers *who you can’t be sure want to have a conversation*, yes. Which is exactly the point the badge addresses.

Which is mostly facetious until I got to people arguing that its sad or problematic to not want more talking on the tube.

Coz this happens all the time. If you don't like social talk & you do like silence, not seen as preference but a failing.

That its somehow selfish not to chat away to ppl but not remotely selfish to make others listen to your chatter.

I will make the case for it being better generally to have a expectation of quiet than conversation in confined spaces.
